1965 Map of Mormon Mountain

About this map

Coconino National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape, characterized by a complex network of industrial logging history and seasonal water management. The terrain is marked by significant volcanic features such as Mormon Mountain and Milos Butte, while the legacy of the timber industry is visible through the Horse Park Industrial Railroad and the Milos Industrial Railroad, alongside an Old Railroad Grade. This mid-century survey documents an essential system of water tanks and springs, including Cigarette Tank, Munds Spring, and Thicket Tank, which were critical for ranching and forestry operations in this arid region. The map captures a transitional era for Munds Park and Casner Park, showing the density of jeep trails and historic pits like Ginder Pit that supported the local infrastructure before modern development patterns fully took hold.
