1988 Map of Fredonia

About this map

The Kaibab Indian Reservation dominates the western half of this 1980s landscape, where the plateau is sharply defined by the Shinarump Cliffs. The town of Fredonia serves as the primary hub of activity, featuring a concentrated street grid, a local Cem, and Athletic Fields. Industrial elements are visible on the outskirts, including an Oil Refinery and a Radio Tower, reflecting the regional economy during this period. To the west, Sixmile Village sits near the base of the cliffs, supported by water sources like Sixmile Spring. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Steamboat Rock, Cowboy Butte, and the Flat Tops, while the drainage system of Kanab Creek and Johnson Wash provides the fundamental structure for the high-desert topography. This survey captures a moment when traditional tribal lands and small-town infrastructure coexisted with modern energy and communications utilities.
