1990 Map of O W Point

About this map

The Mogollon Rim dominates this landscape on the boundary of the Sitgreaves National Forest and Tonto National Forest. In the late 20th century, the area shows a transition from traditional ranching and mining to recreational land use. The presence of the Canyon Creek Fish Hatchery and the General Crook National Recreation Trail highlights this shift toward public leisure, while the Rainbow Mines and the historic OW Ranch ground the map in its industrial and agricultural roots. Water management is a primary feature of this arid high-country terrain, evidenced by a dense network of catchments like Willow Springs Lake, Jacob Well, and Lonesome Lake. Residential developments such as Forest Lakes Estates and a nearby Mobile Home Park are situated along the Rim Road, illustrating the growth of seasonal and permanent settlements in this corner of Coconino and Gila Counties.
