Description
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp NP-12 was established at the base of Mt Elden, near Flagstaff AZ, in 1935. The camp continued through 1942. Company 3345 was billeted there (and possibly others, but we have no evidence of that, as yet).
The CCC enrollees at Mt Elden worked for the National Park Service (NPS) on many projects around the region, including at Wupatki National Monument, Walnut Canyon National Monument, and Sunset Crater National Monument. They also helped build the road into the Arizona Snow Bowl in the San Francisco Peaks and Cottage City on the campus of the Teachers College in Flagstaff (now Northern Arizona University).
As far as we know, there is no trace left of the camp and we are not sure of exactly where it was located – but probably somewhere northeast of Flagstaff, out along Route 66.
