1949 Map of Paulden
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Drake sits as a critical rail junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad meets the rugged terrain of the Prescott National Forest. This 1949 survey captures the ranching and industrial character of the Chino Valley region just after the war, showing the network of family holdings such as Stewart Ranch Hdqtrs, Del Rio Ranch, and Hubbel Ranch. The Verde River and its tributaries, including Hell Canyon and Big Chino Wash, dictate the placement of early infrastructure like Wagon Tire Dam and Sullivan Lake. Evidence of early territorial industry is found at the United States Mine near St Mathews Mtn, while the Cedar Glade Ranger Sta marks the administrative presence of the Forest Service in managing these high desert lands.
