1912 Map of Petrified Forest

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Petrified Forest National Monument dominates the high desert landscape of eastern Arizona in this 1910 survey, showing the protected area before modern highway development. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR skirts the northern edge of the park, providing the primary access point at the settlement of Adamana, where travelers once departed for tours of the fossilized wood deposits. The map captures the early 20th-century division of the monument into distinct sections like the First Forest, Second Forest, and Rainbow Forest, interspersed with dramatic geological formations such as The Battleship and The Flattops.
