1954 Map of Heaton Knolls

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Red Blanket Ranch stands as a focal point of human activity in this mid-century livestock-driven landscape, situated near Grassy Cave and the distinct volcanic formations of Heaton Knolls. The map reveals a sophisticated water management system critical for ranching in the arid Arizona interior, featuring numerous man-made catchments like Heaton Reservoir, Sims Reservoir, and Jackson Reservoir. Topographic details highlight the dramatic descent from Yellowstone Mesa through the complex of Wild Band Valley and Antelope Valley. The remote industrial footprint of the era is evidenced by the Hack Canyon Mine tucked into the deep incision of Hack Canyon. This 1950s survey illustrates a region where life was dictated by the availability of water at places like Yellowstone Spring and Bundy Ponds, connected only by a network of rugged jeep trails.
