About this map

The Kaibab Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape along the Utah-Arizona border, where the high desert terrain is defined by deep canyons and critical water sources. The small settlement of Moccasin is a primary focal point, situated near the western edge of the reservation where the landscape drops toward the plateau floor. The map captures an era of ranching and remote land management, marked by features such as Twomile Corrals and the winding Pipe Spring Road.

Water management is a central theme of this 1954 survey, with numerous natural and improved sources documented across the arid terrain. From Wolf Spring and Pine Spring in the higher elevations to various named seeps and stock ponds, these features represent the vital infrastructure for sustaining livestock and community life in a region where Twomile Wash and South Wash carve through the geological formations of Cedar Ridge.
