About this map

Coconino National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by a series of prominent high points and deep incisions. The southwestern corner is marked by Calloway Butte and Tule Butte, overlooking a network of drainages including Wilbur Canyon and Coyote Canyon. This 1965 field-checked survey reveals an environment where water management was paramount for ranching or forestry, as evidenced by dozens of named catchments such as Upper Tank, Dead Horse Tank, and Wilbur Tank No 1.

Transport is limited to a handful of jeep trails and the historic Zane Grey Highway cutting across the southern portion near Calloway Lake. The map details the transition from the high, relatively flat terrain of Maxwell Park and Willow Valley into the dissected drainages of Clear Creek. The inclusion of features like Good Enough Ridge and Soldier Mesa provides a window into the local nomenclature used by those working this high-country terrain during the mid-twentieth century.
