1966 Map of Parks

About this map

Parks and Maine anchor the southern corridor of this mid-century survey, situated along the critical route of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Sitgreaves Mtn and Government Mtn down into the broad, open expanse of Government Prairie. Evidence of federal land management and military presence is prominent, with the Spring Valley Guard Station to the north and the northern edge of the Navajo Army Depot visible in the southeast. Numerous water sources, including Beale Spring and Kaufman Spring, alongside various tanks like Sego Tank, suggest a landscape historically reliant on these points for grazing and travel. Industrial activity is noted through several Cinder Pits and a network of pipelines that traverse the high-altitude terrain of the Kaibab National Forest.
