Sedona’s pink sandstone seems to glow at sunrise and sunset, and its first settlers farmed along Oak Creek. This map of Sedona prints the Chapel of the Holy Cross, Ranger Station Park and Historic Sedona Ranger Station, the Hart Store, the Sedona Visitor Center, Coffeepot Rock and Sedona Charter School, from Uptown Sedona out to West Sedona, with Little Sugarloaf Summit, Schuerman Mountain and Oak Creek giving shape to the land.
Sedona is a city that straddles the line between Coconino County and Yavapai County, in the northern Verde Valley.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 and gave modern data the look of a vintage atlas. The shaded relief of Coffeepot Rock, Little Sugarloaf Summit and Schuerman Mountain comes from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and the streets were drawn from Census Bureau files. Historic sites such as the Chapel of the Holy Cross, Ranger Station Park and Historic Sedona Ranger Station, and the Hart Store were confirmed against the National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places. The color comes from a layer of pink sandstone called the Schnebly Hill Formation, found only around Sedona, and the city lies within the Coconino National Forest.
A town named for Sedona Schnebly
The Sinagua lived in central Arizona from about 600 to about 1400, and the Yavapai and Apache settled along the sides of Oak Creek Canyon after them. In 1876 John James Thompson moved into the canyon and found an old garden still bearing crops, which he called the Indian Gardens. Oak Creek became known for its peach and apple orchards, and around the turn of the century Theodore Carlton Schnebly and his wife, Sedona, came from Missouri, bought 80 acres along the creek and opened their house to guests, who never paid more than $1 a day for room and board. When Theodore applied to be postmaster, Washington turned down “Oak Creek Crossing” and his other choice as too long, and his brother Ellsworth suggested naming the place for Sedona. The name was approved on June 26, 1902, when the post office counted 55 residents. Sedona’s mother said she had made the name up because it sounded pretty. Sedona Schnebly cooked, farmed, taught Bible school and saved to build a chapel; the Wayside Chapel was dedicated to her in 1950, the year she died.
Sedona Charter School, a Montessori school for kindergarten through eighth grade, sits behind the Sedona Public Library, where a statue of Sedona Schnebly by local artist Susan Kliewer was unveiled on October 1, 1994, as the city’s first Art in Public Places project. Sedona incorporated as a city in 1988.

Brewer Road and the chapel
The Forest Service built the Sedona Ranger Station in 1917 to run the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest. The bungalow on Brewer Road was home to District Ranger Jesse I. Bushnell, the Civilian Conservation Corps added the barn and pump house in the 1930s, and the station was listed on the National Register in 2008. Down the road, L. E. Hart opened the Hart Store in 1926, called Sedona’s first real store; it sold Oak Creek fruit and tourist supplies and had gravity-drained gas pumps and the first commercial power in town. Max Ernst built a small cottage with his own hands on Brewer Road, and he and the painter Dorothea Tanning made their home in Sedona after their 1946 wedding, where Ernst compiled a book and finished his sculpture Capricorn.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross was the idea of Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a local rancher and sculptor who had been inspired in 1932 by the new Empire State Building. Senator Barry Goldwater helped her get a permit to build on national forest land, and architects from Anshen and Allen, seeing the site, said, “Nature has done everything here. All we have to do is understate.” Builders finished it in 18 months, in 1956, moving rock without dynamite, around a 90-foot iron cross that’s part of its structure. It won the American Institute of Architects’ Award of Honor in 1957, and Staude said its doors would “ever be open to one and all, regardless of creed.” In 2007 Arizonans voted it one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona.
Around the map
In Uptown Sedona, George Jordan’s 1938 fruit sales building, made of native red rock, helped start the area’s business district, and Sedona Red Rock High School stands on the western edge of town in West Sedona. More than sixty Hollywood productions filmed among these rocks from 1923 into the 1970s, including Broken Arrow, Johnny Guitar and 3:10 to Yuma, though the scenery usually stood in for other places. The Sedona Arts Center was founded in 1958, and the Sedona International Film Festival in 1995. North of town, Oak Creek, one of the few streams in northern Arizona’s high desert that runs all year, flows down a canyon about 12 miles long. The Sedona Visitor Center, Coffeepot Rock, Little Sugarloaf Summit and Schuerman Mountain all appear on the sheet.
This Sedona map makes 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 Sedona home, among the red rocks, and KNOWOL created it in 2026 to show the city as it looks today.
