1966 Map of Kendrick Peak

About this map

Kendrick Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1960s, serving as a boundary marker between the Kaibab National Forest and the Coconino National Forest. The summit is crowned by the Kendrick Lookout Tower, a critical post for forest fire surveillance during this era. Below the peaks, the volcanic history of the region is evident in features like the Cinder Pit and several craters, including Crater Lake. The map details a network of trails and jeep tracks connecting numerous water sources, such as Kendrick Spring and Curley Seep, which were essential for both wildlife and the seasonal grazing implied by the presence of open spaces like Kendrick Park and Crowley Park. The inclusion of a Landing Strip and Roadside Rest reflects the gradual modernization and accessibility of this high-country terrain for forestry and recreation.
