Fredonia is the gateway to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, a small town on Kanab Creek within a few miles of the Utah line. Fredonia Elementary School, the Fredonia Public Library, the Fredonia Senior Citizen Center, the Red Pueblo Museum, Fredonia City Park and Fredonia High School are printed on this map, with Cowboy Butte and Kanab Creek in the landscape around them.
Fredonia is a town in Coconino County, on the Arizona Strip.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 and gave it the look of an old atlas. The shaded relief of Cowboy Butte comes from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and the streets were drawn from Census Bureau files. The town covers 7.4 square miles, all of it land, and 1,323 people lived here at the 2020 census.
On the Arizona Strip
The Arizona Strip is the part of Arizona north of the Colorado River. It’s bigger than several U.S. states, yet fewer than 10,000 people live in the whole region, and Fredonia is one of its largest settlements, with Colorado City and Beaver Dam. Only a few highways tie the Strip to the rest of Arizona, among them U.S. Route 89A at Fredonia, and the region has stronger road links to Utah. Fredonia was laid out in 1886, and its name is said to mean “land of free women.”
For decades the town’s major industry was Kaibab Forest Products, which employed up to 400 workers in 1988, until it closed in 1995. U.S. 89 once ran through Fredonia, and the town lost several businesses when the highway was rerouted north of the Glen Canyon dam in 1960. The Arizona One mine is nearby.
Kanab Creek
Kanab Creek, said kÉ™-NAB, is one of the many streams that feed the Colorado River. It begins in Kane County, Utah, and flows 125 miles south past Kanab. In Arizona it forms the line between Coconino and Mohave counties, flows past Fredonia and runs through the Kaibab Indian Reservation of the Paiute people and the Kanab Creek Wilderness before it meets the Colorado inside Grand Canyon National Park. Basketmaker and Anasazi peoples settled its valley long ago, and the ruins of their buildings are found along its course.
The Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, in their own language Kai’vi’vits, grew maize, beans and squash with water from Kanab Creek and from springs along the Vermilion Cliffs. Their reservation covers 188.75 square miles along the Utah line, and Pipe Spring National Monument sits in its southwest part. Ancestral Puebloans and Kaibab Paiute people gathered grass seeds, hunted and raised crops near the springs there for at least 1,000 years, and today the monument and the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians Visitor Center tell that history.

Schools across county lines
Fredonia’s schools belong to the Fredonia-Moccasin Unified School District, formed in May 1974 when the Fredonia elementary and high school districts merged with the Moccasin and Cane Beds districts. It was the state’s first school district to cross county lines, and it’s still the only one. The district runs Fredonia Elementary and Middle School and Fredonia High School, and it serves the Kaibab Indian Reservation and other communities near the Grand Canyon. Senator Barry Goldwater gave the commencement address at Fredonia High School in 1964. The Fredonia Public Library, the Fredonia Senior Citizen Center, the Red Pueblo Museum and Fredonia City Park all have their places on the sheet, and Cowboy Butte rises in the relief.
This Fredonia map is a good addition to an office, library or den, and it can help teach children the geography and history of the area. It’s made for anyone who calls Fredonia home, and KNOWOL created it in 2026 to show the town as it looks today.
