About this map

Montezuma Castle National Monument and Montezuma Well anchor this early 1930s landscape, illustrating the deep historical layering of the Verde Valley. Numerous Ruins are documented along the course of the Verde River, while the surrounding plateau and canyons reflect a landscape of early Arizona ranching and forest management. Working cattle operations like the Coconino Cattle Co Ranch and Gray Ranch share space with federal outposts such as the Coffee Creek Ranger Sta.

The nascent development of Sedona and Cornville is visible here, long before the region's mid-century population boom. Educational centers like the Grasshopper Sch and Clear Creek Sch served the dispersed homesteads and ranchers in the canyonlands. The intricate drainage network of Dry Beaver Creek and Oak Creek carved out the primary travel corridors through the Coconino Nat For, connecting the valley floor to high points like Wilson Mtn and Munds Park.
