1968 Map of Elliott Canyon

About this map

Coconino National Forest encompasses a landscape defined by deep drainages and volcanic landforms on the edge of Anderson Mesa. This late 1960s survey documents a network of critical water sources necessary for ranching and survival in the high desert, including Yellow Jacket Spring and Elliott Spring. The map traces the historical path of the Elliott Trail as it descends through Elliott Canyon, providing a rare look at the established routes used before modern infrastructure altered the area.
