About this map

Montezuma Castle National Monument anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, where the ancient Cliff Dwelling overlooks the meandering course of Beaver Creek. The map documents the mid-century intersection of federal land management and indigenous history, specifically outlining the Lower Camp Verde Ind Res and the Camp Verde Military Reservation Boundary. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the significance of water in the high desert, meticulously labeling livestock and storage points such as Hat Ranch Tank and Cochran Tank.

Transportation patterns reflect the area's frontier history, notably the presence of the Old Military Road winding through the Coconino National Forest. Near the confluence of the Verde River and Clear Creek, local landmarks like the Clear Creek Cem and Camp Verde Ranger Sta provide essential data points for genealogists and local historians studying the settlement patterns of Yavapai County during this era.
