1958 Map of Saint Johns

About this map

The Little Colorado River and its tributaries define the high plateau and mountain landscapes of this mid-century survey, which straddles the Arizona New Mexico border. Water management is a central theme of the region's development, evidenced by the Lyman Reservoir south of Saint Johns and Becker Lake near the community of Springerville-Eagar. To the north, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut across the arid terrain near Holbrook, providing a vital transit link alongside U. S. 66.
