About this map

The Kaibab Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Mohave County quadrangle, where the massive Vermilion Cliffs rise sharply above the desert floor. During the mid-1950s, this area of the Arizona Strip was defined by a sparse network of ranching infrastructure, evidenced by landmarks like Rouch Well and several scattered water tanks. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features, including the Elephant Foot formation and the prominent Yellowstone Mesa to the south. Water sources, vital for survival in this arid environment, are recorded at Moonshine Spring along Moonshine Ridge. The drainage of Pipe Valley Wash carves through the central valley, providing a natural corridor through a landscape punctuated by heights such as Indian Knoll. This 1954 survey represents the region before significant modern development, documenting the primitive roads and windmills that once supported local livestock operations.
