1899 Map of San Francisco Mtns

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Flagstaff serves as the central hub of this late-19th-century survey, situated at the base of the massive volcanic cluster of the San Francisco Mountains. The landscape transitions from the high-elevation peaks of Agassiz Peak and San Francisco Peak down to the arid stretches of Cohonini Park. Transportation in the region is defined by the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, which follows a high-desert corridor connecting settlements like Bellemont, Cosnino, and Angell. The importance of water in this environment is evident through the naming of numerous vital points like Leroux Spring and Fishers Tanks. To the east, the deep incision of Canyon Diablo and the striking Crater Mound mark the edge of the plateau, while the Little Colorado River winds through the northeast corner past Grand Falls, indicating the sparse but critical river-and-rail economy of the territorial era.
