1886 Map of San Francisco Mtns

About this map

Flagstaff serves as a central point along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in this 1880s survey of North-Central Arizona. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic forms of the San Francisco Mountains, including San Francisco Peak and O'Leary Peak. Beyond the mountain range, the high desert terrain is punctuated by critical water sources like Turkey Tanks, Cohonini Tank, and numerous springs essential for early ranching and transit. The northeastern quadrant follows the Little Colorado River, detailing remarkable natural features such as Grand Falls and Black Falls. This era of the territory is defined by the early rail line connecting small settlements like Bellmont and Cosnino to the broader American West, while the presence of Fort Moroni reflects the frontier-era security and resource management of the period.
