1966 Map of Bald Knoll

About this map

Skutumpah Terrace dominates the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a rugged landscape shaped by drainage systems like Kanab Creek and Sink Valley Wash. The map reveals a land utilized primarily for its natural resources and livestock range, evidenced by the central placement of Ford Pasture and the presence of scattered Mines and a Borrow Pit. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, tracing numerous water sources such as Spaniard Spring, Fisher Spring, and Elbo Spring which sustain life in these arid basins. To the east, the distinct volcanic profile of Bald Knoll rises above the surrounding canyons. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating between these remote landmarks, highlighting the primitive transportation infrastructure that defined this part of Kane County during the era.
