1971 Map of Lyman Lake

About this map

Lyman Lake serves as the centerpiece of this desert landscape in the early 1970s, established within the Lyman Lake State Park. Fed by the Little Colorado River, the reservoir supports local recreation, evidenced by a Boat Ramp and Campground on its western shore. The surrounding terrain is defined by its volcanic and riparian history, including the notable Lava field in the southwest and several seasonal watercourses like Coyote Creek and Carnero Creek. The presence of Richville and named water sources such as Neilson Spring highlights the area's agricultural reliance on the river's drainage. Numerous Jeep Trails and isolated Corrals cross the mesas, suggesting a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and outdoor access during this era.
