About this map

The Hualapai Indian Reservation dominates this 1967 landscape, showcasing a remote expanse of the Arizona high country defined by steep escarpments and vital water catchments. The eastern portion of the map is marked by the towering Aubrey Cliffs, which drop sharply toward a broad Valley floor. This area’s survival and utility are tied to scattered water sources like Hockey Puck Spring, Big Spring, and ranching infrastructure such as the D S Ranch Tank.

To the west, the boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area meets the reservation lands near Granite Park, a rugged interior terrain that includes the deep recesses of the Canyon. The mapping of these remote plateaus, including features like Jungle Rim, provides a clear view of the complex topography before more modern development reached this section of Coconino County. The map captures an era of isolated ranching and tribal land management, evidenced by numerous improved water tanks like Prospect Tank.
