About this map

Hamilton Crossing marks a central point of interest on this high-plateau landscape where the Coconino National Forest and Sitgreaves National Forest meet. The 1970 field check reveals a network of water management features essential for ranching and forest operations, including livestock watering sites like the O'Haco Tank, Burro Weed Tank, and Erramuzpe Trick Tank.

Deeply incised drainages like Clear Creek and Willow Creek dominate the topography, navigated by the Clear Creek Pack Trail and the rudimentary Tillman Road. Settled locations such as Whitted Place and infrastructure like the Ellsworth Well 6466 illustrate the human footprint in this arid environment. The map details the transition from the high forest into the seasonal drainages of Echinique Draw and Tillman Draw, providing a precise look at the land use and hydrology of Northern Arizona during the mid-twentieth century.
