1967 Map of Mt. Trumbull NW

About this map

The high desert ranching landscape of the Unikaret Plateau is documented here as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map captures a transition between the rugged volcanic terrain of Mount Trumbull and the productive drainage basins of Sink Valley and Potato Valley. Family-named operations like Kenworthy Ranch, Marshall Ranch, and Craig Ranch are positioned near vital water sources such as Crosby Tank and Coyote Spring, illustrating the sparse but critical settlement pattern required for survival in this arid region of Mohave County. Within the Kaibab National Forest, the Nixon Ranger Station serves as a lone administrative outpost. The presence of a Landing Strip and various jeep trails alongside established water improvements like Sawmill Tank highlights the mid-century infrastructure supporting both forest management and private ranching interests across the Unikaret Mts.
