About this map

The Little Colorado River defines the southern edge of Holbrook in this mid-1980s survey, showing a desert crossroads in transition. The map captures the organized grid of the town site alongside significant regional infrastructure like the Municipal Airport and the campus of Northland Pioneer College. Water management is evident through the extensive system of levees flanking the Little Colorado River and the various drainages such as Leroux Wash and Jacobs Wash that feed toward the valley floor.

Evidence of local recreation and community life is visible at the Golf Course and the Fairground, while the presence of a Cem and the settlement of Penzance to the west offer clear points of interest for genealogists. The high desert terrain is punctuated by landmarks such as the Airway Beacon and Radio Tower KDTI, illustrating the area's role as a communications and transportation hub for Navajo County.
