1954 Map of Fredonia

About this map

Fredonia serves as the primary settlement on this high-desert landscape during the mid-1950s, situated just south of the Utah border. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems like Kanab Creek and Lost Spring Wash, which cut through the Kaibab Indian Reservation. The map records a critical water-dependent landscape where numerous named sources such as Wolf Spring, Bitter Seeps, and Quickwater Spring were essential for ranching and local survival. Cultural landmarks like the Pipe Spring National Monument stand alongside industrial markers including a Gravel Pit and a regional Pipeline. This era shows a transition in transportation, noting an active Landing Strip alongside one marked Landing Strip (Aban'd), reflecting changing aviation needs in this corner of the Arizona Strip.
