1968 Map of Cornville

About this map

Oak Creek and the Verde River converge in this high-desert landscape, creating a fertile corridor that has long supported habitation and agriculture. The 1960s irrigation network is highly visible through systems like the Oak Creek Ditch and Eureka Ditch, which redirect water to local homesteads and ranching operations. The area is anchored by the settlement of Cornville, while the Camp Verde Indian Reservation and the Middle Verde Cem (Yavapai-Apache) at the southern edge of the quadrangle signify the enduring indigenous presence in the Verde Valley. Cultural history is etched into the terrain at the Sugarloaf Ruins and the rural Oak Creek Sch. Modern infrastructure, including the Fish Farm and the Radio Tower (KVOI) near Bridgeport, contrasts with the vast protected lands of the Coconino National Forest and Prescott National Forest.
