1970 Map of Jaycox Mtn.

About this map

The high plateau of the Coconino National Forest in Arizona is meticulously detailed in this 1970 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by its complex network of water management, evidenced by dozens of named catchments such as Jaycox Tank, Clay Tank, and Doubtful Tank. These vital water sources support the surrounding terrain, which rises toward peaks like Jaycox Mtn and Pine Mtn. In the northeast, the deep incisions of Grapevine Canyon and Canyon Diablo cut through the forest floor, creating a stark contrast to the open flats of Bargaman Park and the Sawmill Hills. The Presence of the Soldier Annex Canal and numerous jeep trails suggests a landscape active with forest management and livestock grazing during this era. Landowners and historians can trace the paths of seasonal washes like Sawmill Wash and the locations of remote outposts like the Johnny Tank or Antelope Tank.
