1957 Map of Shinarump

About this map

Buttons Ranch and Chatterly Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this 1950s survey, marking a period of active ranching along the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The terrain is defined by the dramatic ascent of the Shinarump Cliffs and the deep incisions of Wildcat Canyon and Canyon De L'Eau. To the south, the boundary of the Kaibab National Forest meets the Game Preserve Boundary, preserving a rugged environment where Cedar Knoll and Little Cedar Knoll stand as prominent landmarks. This map captures the region's mid-century utility, evidenced by the Landing Strip near the western edge and a network of unimproved tracks like Winter Road and Ryan Road. The transition from the high mesas toward the northern rim of the Grand Canyon is visible through the drainage patterns of Johnson Wash and Seaman Wash.
