1952 Map of Promontory Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Coconino National Forest, Sitgreaves National Forest, and Tonto National Forest converge on this mid-century survey of the Mogollon Rim. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition at Diamond Rim and the massive profile of Promontory Butte, where high-elevation ridges like McClintock Ridge and Yeager Ridge drop into the deep canyons of the Tonto basin. This area has deep ties to Western history, notably marked by the Battle of Big Dry Wash Historic Marker near General Springs. Local settlement is characterized by isolated ranches and early forest service outposts, including Buck Springs Guard Sta and the Zane Grey Lodge. Numerous springs and water developments, such as Barbershop Spring and Schoolhouse Tank, speak to the critical role of water management in this high-altitude cattle country. The map also traces established routes like the Highline Trail, which follows the base of the spectacular rim escarpment.
