About this map

Volcanic landforms and high-desert water management define this Coconino County landscape during the early 1960s. The prominent S P Mtn S P Crater stands at the center of a geologic field marked by Crater 160, Red Hill, and Antelope Hill. This survey highlights the complex borderlands where the Navajo Indian Reservation meets the Kaibab National Forest and Coconino National Forest.

Evidence of ranching and early habitation appears through isolated sites like the Aso Ranch and Gonzales Tank, while ancient history is noted at the Wupatki National Monument and various unnamed ruins. A network of essential water sources, including Beasley Lake, Victory Lake, and the engineered Beasley Ditch, illustrates the critical infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid terrain.
