About this map

The Hualapai Indian Reservation dominates this 1967 survey, encompassing the high-elevation terrain of the Music Mountains and the flatlands of Plain Tank. This arid landscape is defined by its essential water infrastructure, including Horse Trough Spring and a series of livestock tanks like Box Canyon Tank and Trail Tank. These features highlight the importance of water management for ranching and resource use on the reservation during the mid-20th century.

Notable cultural markers are found along the eastern edge, including Pictographs in Box Canyon and identified Graves, providing important points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Transportation through the area is anchored by the Buck and Doe Road, which cuts across the northern flats near a Borrow Pit. The map captures a moment in time before significant modern development, focusing on the essential geography and survival landmarks of northern Arizona's high plateau.
