1979 Map of Paulden
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Big Black Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Yavapai County region, where the high plateaus of the Prescott National Forest meet the broad drainages of Chino Valley. The map documents a critical transportation corridor defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which snakes through the terrain alongside remnant infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade and Railroad Tank. These rails connect the small settlements of Paulden and Drake, supporting a local economy historically tied to cattle and limestone extraction, evidenced by numerous quarries and borrow pits near the tracks.
