About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest defines this high-plateau landscape, where the intricate drainages of Grama Draw and Cabin Draw carve through the Arizona terrain. This 1965 field-checked survey reveals a mid-century backcountry utilized for resource management and seasonal travel. Remote administrative hubs like the Wallace Administrative Site and the Chevelon Ranger Station served as the primary human outposts in this region.

Evidence of early rural infrastructure is found at Wiggins Crossing and the Chevelon Butte Sch, providing specific points of interest for local historians. Water management is a dominant theme of the map, with numerous catchments such as Ellsworth Trick Tank and Creswell Tank scattered across the ridges. The deep incisions of West Chevelon Canyon and Alder Canyon to the east highlight the transition from forest grazing lands to the steep breaks of the canyon country.
