1954 Map of Fredonia SW

About this map

Pipe Spring National Monument serves as a focal point in the northwest corner of this mid-century survey, situated at the base of the Moccasin Mountains. Much of the landscape is defined by the Kaibab Indian Reservation, where the drainage patterns of Moccasin Wash and Sand Wash carve through the high desert. The terrain transitions into dramatic relief toward the south, where Burnt Canyon and Bull Rush Wash drop away from the surrounding flats. Local travel is dictated by the Mt Trumbull Road, which links these remote water sources like Twomile Seep and Bitter Seeps Wash. The map documents a sparsely settled region where survival depended on specific landmarks like Scotts Hole and various unnamed windmills and stock ponds that supported the local ranching economy.
