About this map

The town of Seligman serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. Positioned along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the community shows its institutional foundations with a High Sch and Athletic Field adjacent to the tracks. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system critical for both ranching and the railroad, including the Padre Reservoir, Pan Dam, and numerous named catchments such as Cedar Berry Bob Tank and Sinkhole Tank.

A network of modern infrastructure cuts across the older geological features of the Canyon, with multiple pipelines and the significant corridor of Interstate 40. The boundary between Coconino Co Yavapai Co traverses the northern section of the map, while industrial activity is evidenced by several sites including a Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit. This area reflects the functional layout of a high-altitude rail town adapting to the mid-20th-century expansion of the interstate highway system.
