1966 Map of Bald Knoll

About this map

Skutumpah Terrace dominates the southern portion of this landscape, rising above a complex network of canyons and washes characteristic of this region in the mid-1960s. The prominent volcanic cinder cone of Bald Knoll serves as a central landmark, overlooking the surrounding drainage patterns where Sink Valley Wash and Kanab Creek have carved distinct paths through the terrain. Evidence of localized industry and resource extraction is visible through markings for several Mines and a Borrow Pit near The Falls. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources, with numerous named points such as Spaniard Spring, Echo Spring, and Fuller Spring that would have been vital for ranching and travel. A system of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of access through remote areas like Ford Pasture and Broad Hollow, illustrating the limited transportation infrastructure of the era.
