1970 Map of Loy Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Coconino National Forest contains a complex network of canyons and high mesas on this 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the massive incisions of Sycamore Canyon and Secret Canyon, which create a naturally defensible and isolated environment. Historical human presence is marked by primitive shelters and cattle operations, including the Cliff Dwelling near Loy Butte and several remote outposts like Buck Ridge Cabin and Secret Cabin. Ranching infrastructure is pervasive, with the Hancock Ranch and Gray Ranch supported by a system of named livestock tanks such as Robbers Roost Tank and Sebra Tank. The map also documents the rugged transportation routes of the era, including the Casner Mountain Trail and the Mooney Trail, which provided essential access across the Yavapai and Coconino county lines before more modern development reached these heights.
