About this map

Coconino National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape, characterized by a complex network of water catchment systems essential for ranching and wildlife. The 1970 survey reveals a territory where survival depends on a series of man-made and natural water sources, including Dove Spring and Grapevine Spring. Numerous tanks with distinctive names like Quarter Circle Bar Tank, Luth Hart Tank, and Sarah Jane Tank indicate active grazing allotments and family-associated landmarks in the mid-20th century.

Prominent geographical features such as Jaycox Mtn and the Sawmill Hills rise above the drainage systems of Sawmill Wash and Grapevine Canyon. These elevations and water points are linked by a spiderweb of jeep trails, suggesting a remote area managed for timber, livestock, and natural resources rather than permanent settlement. The inclusion of Bargaman Park and Pine Mtn further illustrates the varied terrain of the Arizona high country during this era.
