1980 Map of Elephant Butte

About this map

The Kaibab Indian Reservation Bdy cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant jurisdictional boundary in the high desert of the Arizona-Utah borderlands. In this 1970s survey, the terrain is defined by dramatic escarpments and plateau features such as the White Cliffs and the Block White Cliffs. Named landmarks like Elephant Butte and Sandstone Butte rise above Oak Flat, providing distinct navigational points for those traversing the network of Jeep Trails. Water sources were critical to the livestock and settlement history of this arid region, evidenced by the scattered locations of Wyatt Spring, Kane Spring, and Pine Spring. The presence of a Seismometer near the Moccasin Mountains indicates the area's geological activity and scientific interest during the late twentieth century, while the Kane Co Mohave Co line underscores the political geography of this remote frontier.
