1962 Map of Flagstaff East

About this map

Elden Mountain and the deep incisions of Walnut Canyon define the landscape on this eastern side of the city. The map documents a period of transition as the Flagstaff corporate boundary pushed into the Coconino National Forest, with purple revisions from 1980 showing residential expansions near East Flagstaff and McMillan Mesa. Transportation is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which runs past historical sites like Cliffs and the Elden Pueblo. Local landmarks such as the Mt Elden Sch and Bushmaster Park are clearly marked amidst the rising terrain. To the southeast, the Walnut Canyon National Monument is detailed with its Monument Headquarters and the winding course of Walnut Creek, while prominent volcanic features like Sheep Hill and Wildcat Hill rise above the surrounding cinder pits.
