As a mid-sized city, Flagstaff has approximately 76,000 people living in and around it. The city is also the regional center and county seat for Coconino County, the second largest county in the 48 contiguous states. The City of Flagstaff, founded in 1894, is nestled at the base of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounded by one of the largest ponderosa pine forests on earth. At nearly 7,000 feet, Flagstaff is also one of the highest elevation cities in the United States. Known as the “City of Seven Wonders,” Flagstaff attracts millions of tourists each year due to its easy access to such scenic destinations as the Grand Canyon, Sunset Crater, Oak Creek Canyon, Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki National Monument, and the San Francisco Peaks. COMMUNITY ECONOMY: Flagstaff’s economy is largely based on tourism, education, government, light industry, and transportation. Some of the larger employers in Flagstaff are Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff Medical Center, Flagstaff Unified School District, W.L. Gore, and government agencies such as the Forest Service, the National Park Service, and Coconino County. Tourism is an important contributor to the economy, as the city receives over 5 million visitors per year. Numerous hotel and resaurant chains serve this thriving travel and tourism industry. Six business and industrial parks are located within the general area. Major manufacturers include W.L. Gore & Associates, manufacturer of Gore-Tex and medical equipment; Nestle Purina Petcare Products, manufacturer of pet food; SCA Tissue, manufacturer of tissue paper; and Joy Cone, manufacturer of ice cream cones.

Real estate in Flagstaff, AZ will always be a good investment because of the amount of available land in the area is limited. Flagstaff has excellent choices of real estate companies and real estate agents with which to work. CLIMATE: Flagstaff has a highland semi-arid climate with four distinct seasons. The combination of high altitude and low humidity provide mild weather conditions throughout most of the year, and the predominantly clear air radiates daytime heating effectively. Temperatures often fall precipitously after sunset throughout the year, and winter nights can be very cold. Winter weather patterns typically result in periodic, widespread snowfall followed by extended periods of fair weather. Although snow often covers the ground for weeks after major winter storms, Flagstaff's relatively low latitude and plentiful winter sunshine quickly melt much of what falls, and persistent deep snowpack is unusual. Summer weather is typically characterized by brief, but often intense, afternoon rain showers and dramatic thunderstorms common during the monsoon season of July and August. Summer high temperatures average around 80 °F and winter high temperatures average 43 °F. The record high temperature is 97.0 °F on July 5, 1973, and the record low temperature was -30 °F on February 1, 1985. The average annual rainfall is 22.9 inches and annual snowfall averages 100 inches. Overall, the city enjoys an average of 283 days without precipitation and 266 days of sunshine each year.

  • Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 3
    Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 3 — D to F By Al Ring Early and Pre 1930, White Border: (Around 1898 to 1930) Pioneer Era (Pre 1898) — Most pre-1898 postcards share a few common traits: The postcard of this era is characterized by an undivided back (no line going down the center of the back of the postcard), and many con- tain printed lines on the back for the name of the addressee and his address only. Private Mailing Card Era (1898 to December 24, 1901) — On May 19, 1898, by an act of Congress, private printers were granted permission to print and sell cards that bore the inscription “Private Mailing card.” Cost of postage reduced from 2 cents to 1 cent. Undivided Back “Postcard” Era (December 24, 1901 to March 1, 1907) — The use of the word “POST CARD/POSTCARD” (as one or two words) was granted by the government to private printers. Writing was still not permitted on the address side. Divided Back Era (March 1, 1907 to 1915) (Golden Age) —Postcards with a divided back were finally permit- ted on March 1, 1907. The address had to be written on the right side of the back of the postcard while the left side was reserved for writing messages. White Border Era (1915-1930) —After WWI printers of view postcards, to save ink, a white border was left around the view, thus we call them “White Border” postcards. The higher cost of post-war publishing com- bined with inexperienced labor caused the production of poorer quality cards.

    CELEBRATING 12 YEARS SERVING MUNDS PARK & NORTHERN ARIZONA COMMUNITIES! A FREE COMMUNITY EVENT EVERY SATURDAY! WELCOME BACK! The Pinewood Farmers’ Market (PFM), also known as the “Munds Park Farmers Market,” is held every Saturday, beginning, May 29, 2021 (Memorial Day) through Saturday, September 04, 2021 (Labor Day) from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The PFM is adjacent to the Munds Park Community Church, which is on the west side of I-17, directly off Munds Ranch Road. The PFM is a free public community market so we ALWAYS invite local Munds Park restaurants, bars, and businesses to participate in the market first prior to bringing outside Flagstaff and/or Valley small businesses into the market. We believe in supporting local businesses and teamwork. The PFM is a unique, outdoor, free market located in the small, quaint resort community called Munds Park, Arizona, which is directly off I-17, Exit 322. At 6,500 feet elevation, Munds Park is generally 20 to 25 degrees cooler than the Valley and a quick jaunt for summer visitors looking to escape the oppressive valley heat. Only 21 miles south of Flagstaff and just under two hours north from the Carefree highway the Munds Park community is nestled alongside the beautiful Coconino National Forest and framed by gorgeous, tall Ponderosa pine trees. Munds Park is widely regarded for its variety of outdoor recreation opportunities in all seasons. One of those recreation opportunities consists of walking or biking down to the local community market and perusing a wide variety of market vendors and artisans each Saturday, which is free to the public and a great opportunity to meet new friends while enjoying local food vendors, artisans, and musicians.

  • Geologic Map of the Mormon Lake Quadrangle, Coconino County, Arizona
    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MORMON LAKE QUADRANGLE COCONINO COUNTY, ARIZONA by Richard F, Holm Department Of Geology, Northern Arizona University Arizona Geological Survey Contributed Map CM-94-C February 1994 Available from Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 24 p., 1 sheet, scale 1:24,000 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MORMON LAKE QUADRANGLE, COCONINO COUNTY, ARIZONA Richard F. Holm Department of Geology Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona Introduction The Mormon Lake quadrangle is in the northern part of the Mormon volcanic field, a late Cenozoic volcanic province on the southern margin of the Colorado Plateau (Holm and others, 1989). Except for Pleistocene and Holocene surficial deposits, all of the rocks mapped on the quadrangle are Miocene and Pliocene volcanic rocks. All geologic contacts and faults were traced in the field. Map units were defined on the bases of lithology and morphology, and stratigraphic relationships were determined in the field on the basis of traditional geologic principles such as superposition and cross-cutting relationships. The mapping strategy was to map all lava flows and vent structures that could be distinguished in the field as discrete units, and to trace each flow to its source vent. Each vent structure was given an identification number (see "Vent and flow identification numbers"), and related lava flows were identified with the same number. Small vent deposits and related flows (Tys and Tyb) that lack morphologic distinction on the map were not, however, given separate identification numbers.

  • The Brolliar Park Cabin and Homestead
    THE BROLLIAR PARK CABIN AND HOMESTEAD The Flagstaff Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest is developing plans to preserve a log cabin in a meadow known as Brolliar Park. The cabin is located in the NW¼ of Section 20, Township 17 North, Range 9 East, approximately five miles south of Mormon Lake Village in Coconino County, Arizona (Figure 1). Preliminary research by the District Archaeologist indicated that the cabin plus associated improvements and acreage comprised a Forest Homestead patented by Dave Brolliar in 1920 (Haines 2018). The homestead remained in private ownership until 1975 when the USDA Forest Service acquired the property. Prior to starting its preservation work, the District sponsored this study to learn about Brolliar, the homestead, and its subsequent history.1 Primary data sources included: Coconino County deeds, homestead indices, records of livestock marks and brands, bills of sale, mortgages, and promiscuous records; Coconino National Forest cultural resource files, land records, and grazing records; General Land Office patent records; a National Archives & Records Administration/NARA land entry case file; contemporary newspapers (available at Chroniclingamerica.loc.gov and Newspaperarchive.com); vital statistics (usually accessed through Ancestry.com); unpublished manuscripts (archived at Northern Arizona University, the Camp Verde Historical Society, the Sharlot Hall Museum, and the Chanute Public Library); and historical maps and aerial photos (accessed through usgs.gov). Thanks are extended to the individuals who helped access these sources, namely Cindy Dent (Chanute Public Library), Jeremy Haines and Gary Hase (Coconino National Forest), Jan Klann (Camp Verde Historical Society), Octavia Ranger (NARA), and Tom Schmidt (Sharlot Hall Museum).

  • Wetland Restoration & Construction Workshop Mormon Lake Ranger
    Wetland Restoration & Construction Workshop Mormon Lake Ranger Station, 4373 South Lake Mary Road, Flagstaff, AZ. June 11 and 12, 2013 Hosted by: Bat Conservation International, USDA-Forest Service, Arizona Game & Fish Department, and the Center for Wetland and Stream Restoration. Many thanks to our program funders: New-Land Foundation, Brown Family Foundation National Forest Foundation. Workshop details: wetlands provide critical habitat to dozens of wildlife species. Unfortunately, a majority of these ecosystems have been lost to draining and filling throughout North America, affecting recovery efforts for endangered species, reducing water quality, increasing flooding, and reducing ground water supplies. Fortunately, it’s now possible to restore wetlands and to construct wetlands that look and function similar to natural wetlands using techniques developed and tested by the Center for Wetlands and Stream Restoration. This hands-on workshop is designed for individuals interested in learning how to use practical, low cost techniques for building and restoring and creating wetlands. You’ll learn how to select the best locations for building wetlands, test soils, lay out proposed wetlands, choose construction techniques, work with heavy equipment operators, and establish native plants. We will complete a wetland restoration and creation project for bats, northern leopard frogs, and other wildlife on the Mogollon Rim Ranger District and visit multiple wetland sites. Location: The classroom portion of the workshop will be held at the Mormon Lake Ranger Station, 4373 South Lake Mary Road, Flagstaff, Arizona. The wetland restoration and construction project will be at Bill Dick Spring on the Mogollon Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest, approximately 3 miles from Stoneman Lake and 30 miles southwest of Flagstaff.
