1952 Map of Pine

About this map

Mogollon Rim serves as the dramatic topographical divide on this Arizona survey, marking the jagged boundary where the high plateau of the Coconino National Forest drops away into the lower reaches of the Tonto National Forest. In the valley below the rim, the early mountain settlements of Pine and Strawberry are captured at mid-century, connected by simple roads and surrounded by a landscape defined by ranching and resource management. The presence of the High Line Trail and the Natural Bridge suggests an area already established as a destination for outdoor travel and exploration.
