1970 Map of Loy Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Cliff Dwelling remains and Ruins dot the landscape of the Red Rock country in the early 1970s, where the high plateaus of Coconino National Forest meet the canyons of the Prescott National Forest. This era shows a network of remote ranching outposts and water management features essential for livestock in the arid terrain, including Hancock Ranch and Red Canyon Ranch. The map reveals a transition from historical wilderness habitation to a more managed forest landscape, evidenced by numerous isolated structures such as Taylor Cabin, Buck Ridge Cabin, and Secret Cabin. Extensive drainage systems like Sycamore Canyon and Loy Canyon define the topography, while man-made water sources like Robbers Roost Tank and Grindstone Tank highlight the necessity of reliable water for both ranchers and early forest rangers navigating the many Pack Trails and Jeep Trails.
