1969 Map of Page Springs

About this map

Page Springs serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the waters of Oak Creek and various perennial springs supported diverse land uses in the late 1960s. The presence of the Page Springs State Fish Cultural Station and the Christian Indian Sch indicates a specialized community focused on conservation and education near the riparian corridor. The area's agricultural and ranching footprint is evidenced by clusters of infrastructure such as Windmill Ranch and Deer Pass Ranch, while the surrounding Coconino National Forest is dotted with numerous water tanks like Skeleton Bone Tank and Dutch Kid Tank, essential for livestock management in the arid uplands. Higher elevations are defined by prominent landmarks including Anderson Butte and Windmill Mtn, with signs of mineral exploration found at various prospects north of Black Mountain.
