1965 Map of Mormon Mountain

About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the high-country landscape of this mid-1960s survey, dominated by the volcanic profile of Morman Mountain and its surrounding cinder fields. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure, including Bert Lee Tank, Cowboy Tank, and Casner Park Tank, which supported the region's ranching economy. A prominent Industrial Railroad Grade snakes through the topography near Little Horse Park and Bert Lee Park, reflecting the era's timber and resource extraction activities. Landforms like Mt Nestor and T-Six Mountain overlook a series of open parks and deep drainages such as Newman Canyon and Bar M Canyon. The map provides a detailed view of these remote forest lands before modern development, capturing a snapshot of the transition from industrial forest use to recreational management.
