Anderson Mesa (Navajo: Hosh Dikʼání[2]) is an approximately 5-long-mesa located at 35°03′18″N 111°26′24″W / 35.055°N 111.44°W, 20 miles southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona, east of Lake Mary and north of Mormon Lake, in Coconino County.
This mesa landform, at an elevation of 6,200–7,200 above sea-level,[1] has been the site of Lowell Observatory's Anderson Mesa Station since 1959. Because it is also very flat, it is also home of the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer.
