1968 Map of Angell

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Angell is positioned as a key stop along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway, serving as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. The area is defined by its volcanic geology and transit history, where the Twin Arrows Trading Post sits near the alignment of Route 66 and the modern Interstate 40. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features like Rattlesnake Crater and Merrill Crater, alongside the deep incisions of Youngs Canyon and Padre Canyon. Historical human presence is etched into the land, from ancient Petroglyphs and scattered Ruins to the more recent cattle operations at Walking Cane Ranch. This environment necessitated extensive water management, as evidenced by several named reservoirs such as Colcord Tank and Padre Tank. Local industry is represented by numerous extraction sites, including a Cinder Pit and Borrow Pit, which supported the region's infrastructure and railroad maintenance.
