About this map

The high desert landscape of the Arizona Strip is revealed in this modern survey, where the town of Fredonia sits as a gateway near the Mohave Co Coconino Co line. The settlement pattern follows the established grid of local streets like N Main St and Dobson St, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Shinarump Cliffs and Cowboy Butte. Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, represented by Sixmile Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Riggs Spring, which historically supported ranching and transit through the region.

Evidence of local connectivity and geographic naming is seen in the inclusion of Six Mile Village and Sixmile Gap, highlighting the importance of the passage between elevated mesas. The survey also details the complex drainage systems of Kanab Cr and Johnson Wash, which carve through features like Riggs Canyon and Jacob Canyon. These natural landmarks provide a grounded view of the remote northern Arizona territory at the beginning of the 21st century.
