1973 Map of Pine

About this map

Pine and Strawberry anchor this study of the transition between the high plateaus and the valley below, dominated by the massive escarpment of the Mogollon Rim. This 1973 field-checked survey reveals a landscape of high-altitude camps and water management, where numerous tanks and springs like Horse Pasture Tank and Dripping Springs sustained local life. The route of the Zane Grey Highway cuts through the northern timberlands of the Coconino National Forest, while the southern reaches fall within the Tonto National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Milk Ranch Point and Baker Butte provide clear orientation points above the complex drainages of Pine Creek and Strawberry Creek. The presence of Camp Geronimo and Camp Lo Mia highlights the area's mid-century role as a recreational and educational retreat within the Mogollon Rim country.
