1934 Map of Pine

About this map

The dramatic precipice of the Mogollon Rim bisects this mid-1930s survey, marking a sharp geological divide between the high plateaus of the Coconino National Forest and the complex canyon systems of the Tonto National Forest below. Early 20th-century settlement is concentrated in the small communities of Pine and Strawberry, where ranching and early tourism began to take root. The map records a landscape still defined by its cattle-country origins and early mining efforts, featuring family-named landmarks like Chase Ranch and working structures such as Whiterock Corral. Mineral exploration is evident in the south, where the Crackerjack Mine, White Oak Mine, and Rowen Mine are located amidst a network of mesas including Buckhead Mesa and Houston Mesa. One of the most distinctive natural landmarks noted is the Natural Bridge, located south of Pine, which remains a focal point for the region's unique geography.
