Ash Fork

Set on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Ash Fork is a place whose character is shaped by its dry, open highland setting. Historic Route 66 runs through town, retaining the atmosphere of a roadside stop on the long east–west journey across northern Arizona. Rail remains central to local identity: Ash Fork developed beside the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and is still crossed by a major BNSF route. The local stone trade earned Ash Fork the title “Flagstone Capital of the World”; sandstone flagging from the area has long been used in paving and building. Grassland and pinyon-juniper country extend beyond the settlement, with Kaibab National Forest to the north.
