1960 Map of Flagstaff
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchors this mid-century landscape, tracing a path through the high plateau country past Flagstaff and the industrial activity of the Navajo Ordnance Depot. To the east, the route passes the massive depression of Meteor Crater before reaching Winslow. The map captures a complex cultural geography, illustrating the extensive borders of the Navajo Indian Reservation and Hopi Indian Reservation, where ancient settlements like Old Oraibi and Shungopovi sit atop the mesas. The transition from the timbered heights of the Coconino National Forest to the arid expanses of the Painted Desert is clearly marked by the winding course of the Little Colorado River. Remote trading posts, such as the Gray Mountain Trading Post and Sunrise Trading Post, appear as vital outposts along the early roads connecting these isolated mesa communities and desert landmarks.
