About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the rugged high-elevation landscape of this mid-1960s study, where the intersection of water resources and forest management is evident across the terrain. The small settlement at Clints Well serves as a central point, surrounded by a complex network of timber and grazing infrastructure. The area is dotted with dozens of earthen reservoirs or "tanks," such as Kelley Tank and Snafu Tank, highlighting the essential role of water catchment in this arid timberland.

Industrial activity is anchored by the Last Chance Mine, while the administrative presence of the Ranger Station and the Experimental Forest reflects the active conservation and research efforts of the era. Topographic details reveal a landscape carved by numerous draws and ridges, including Blue Ridge and Blazed Ridge, which once supported the local movement of livestock and foresters through sites like Jones Crossing and various campgrounds.
