1979 Map of Ash Fork
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Ash Fork serves as the focal point of this late-1970s landscape, situated at a major transportation nexus where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway meets several modern highway junctions. The town's layout includes a Cem, Sch, and a Substation, reflecting a settled community supporting the rail and road infrastructure. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into the Kaibab National Forest, marked by numerous cinder pits and a complex network of water tanks such as Santa Fe Tank and Steel Crater. These features, alongside an Old Railroad Grade, indicate a history of resource extraction and water management in the high desert environment. The boundary between Coconino Co and Yavapai Co cuts through the region, illustrating the political geography of the Big Black Mesa area. This survey documents the intersection of industrial transport and natural features like Johnson Creek and Perrin Draw.
