1973 Map of Promontory Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Mogollon Rim forms a massive geological divide across this 1970s landscape, separating the high elevations of the Sitgreaves National Forest from the lower canyons of the Tonto National Forest. Settlement in this rugged Arizona backcountry is centered around historic cattle operations and retreats like Kohls Ranch, R Bar C Ranch, and Wipala Wiki Ranch. This era of the Rim Country landscape shows a transition from traditional land uses toward forest recreation, evidenced by numerous sites like Horton Campground and the Ponderosa Campground. Essential water sources are meticulously documented, ranging from high-altitude flows at Horton Spring and Nappa Spring to stock infrastructure like Christopher Tank and King Tank No 3. Notable transportation routes include the historic Highline Trail and the Control Road, while the Lookout Tower Promontory stands as a sentinel over the dramatic vertical relief of Promontory Butte.
