1965 Map of Munds Mountain

About this map

Schnebly Hill Road snakes across the high desert terrain of the Coconino National Forest, climbing past the landmark Merry-Go-Round rock formation toward the high ridges of Munds Mountain. This 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal water management, illustrated by a dense network of catchment tanks like Committee Tank, Dutchs Tank, and Jacks Canyon Tank that supported livestock and wildlife across Horse Mesa. To the east, Woods Ranch stands as a rare named settlement point in a region of deep drainages such as Bear Wallow Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. The map records early modern infrastructure at the Stoneman Lake Interchange, where the developing highway system meets traditional routes like the Pack Trail and the winding course of Dry Beaver Creek.
