About this map

Fredonia serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the crossroads of the northern Arizona borderlands. This landscape is defined by the complex borders of the Kaibab Indian Reservation and multiple county lines, including the intersection of Mohave and Coconino counties. The area's reliance on water management in an arid environment is evident through the presence of an underground aqueduct and numerous water sources such as Cottonwood Spring and Sixmile Spring.

Topographically, the map reveals striking features like the high Dobson Bench and prominent landmarks including Steamboat Rock and Cowboy Butte. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Pipe Spring Road and two flight facilities—an active Airstrip and an Abandoned Airstrip further south. The map documents the rural character of the region, from the Gravel Pit operations near the Utah border to the network of seasonal washes like Kanab Creek and Johnson Run that carve through the Red Sands.
