1968 Map of Angell

About this map

Petroglyphs and scattered ruins mark this high-desert corridor of Coconino National Forest as it appeared in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by volcanic features like Rattlesnake Crater and Merrill Crater, which overlook a critical transportation artery. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and Route 40 parallel each other through the center of the sheet, providing access to the small siding at Angell and the Twin Arrows Trading Post to the southeast. Isolated holdings like the Walking Cane Ranch appear near Youngs Canyon, while the land is dotted with specialized infrastructure including Colcord Tank, Piper Tank, and several cinder pits. The geography is further carved by the deep cuts of Padre Canyon and San Francisco Wash, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local ranching and transit history.
