1995 Map of Datil
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
Datil sits at the southern base of the Datil Mountains, serving as a vital crossroads where the drainage of White House Canyon and Crosby Canyon meet. Much of this territory is defined by the Cibola National Forest, where the landscape is etched with deep drainages like Main Canyon and Blue Canyon. The mapping reflects a rugged ranching economy dependent on dispersed water sources, from the Homestead Windmill to specialized improvements like the Electric Well and Cedar Grove Well. Named ranch sites such as the Drag A Ranch and Eary Ranch are positioned near these critical water points, while the Datil Cem provides a genealogical anchor for the community. Evidence of the area's geological and social history is visible in landmarks like Church Rocks and Dead Horse Mesa, alongside small-scale infrastructure like the Landing Area near the town site.
