1965 Map of Hutch Mtn.

About this map

The Industrial Railroad cuts through the high timberlands of the Coconino National Forest, reflecting the mid-century industrial logging operations in this part of Arizona. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain parks and draws, including Bear Park, Tie Park, and Pratt Park, which served as natural clearings within the pine-covered terrain. Water management is a central theme of this 1960s survey, with numerous man-made livestock tanks and natural springs like Railroad Spring and Van Deren Spring scattered throughout the territory to support ranching operations at Coyote Basin Ranch and K-T Ranch. At the higher elevations, Hutch Mountain stands as a prominent landmark, hosting a Lookout and a Radio Facility, providing a clear view over the surrounding Fulton Canyon and the various pits, such as Borrow Pit No 1, that marked the era's infrastructure development.
