About this map

Montezuma Castle National Monument and the prehistoric site of Montezuma Well anchor this early 1930s survey of the Verde Valley. The landscape transitions from the high plateaus of the Coconino National Forest down into the fertile bottomlands where the Verde River meets Beaver Creek. During this era, Sedona and Cornville appear as modest rural centers supported by scattered agriculture and ranching operations like the Coconino Cattle Co Ranch and Gray Ranch.

Remote outposts such as the Apache Maid Ranger Sta and Coffee Creek Ranger Sta emphasize the importance of forest management and fire lookout positions on prominent landforms like Munds Mtn and Wilson Mtn. Local education is reflected in a network of small, isolated schoolhouses including Grasshopper Sch and Oak Creek Sch, serving the families of the valley and the surrounding high-country pastures.
