About this map

Coconino National Forest terrain dominates this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by dramatic geological features and early recreational development. The high plateau country of Munds Park is bisected by an Industrial Railroad and the primary north-south highway, featuring the Munds Park Interchange and Little Antelope Interchange. To the west, the land drops sharply into the depths of Oak Creek Canyon, where the West Fork Oak Creek carves through the sandstone beneath Wilson Mountain.

Local development is concentrated around Foxboro Ranch and the Oakwood Country Club near Odell Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of water management in this arid environment, documenting numerous stock tanks such as Coyote Park Tank and Skeleton Park Tank. Historical transit routes are well-represented, from the winding descent of Schnebly Hill Road to the various jeep trails that connect remote landmarks like Indian Gardens and Thompsons Point.
