1954 Map of Holbrook

About this map

The Mogollon Rim dominates this mid-century survey, forming a massive geological divide that separates the high plateau of the north from the dramatic mountain country to the south. Along this escarpment, the landscape transitions from the dense timber of the Coconino National Forest and Sitgreaves National Forest into the river-cut valleys of the Tonto National Forest. Water is a central theme of the region, from the natural basin of Mormon Lake to the vital course of the Little Colorado River near Holbrook.
