1950 Map of Simmons

About this map

Simmons and the surrounding high desert of the Prescott National Forest are defined by a network of large cattle operations and seasonal watercourses during the late 1940s. The mapping reveals a sparse but vital landscape where livelihoods depended on landmarks like Antelope Dam and numerous scattered Windmills. Large ranching properties such as Seven V Ranch, Las Vegas Ranch, and Wineglass Ranch anchor the region, connected by a simple road network and a prominent Telephone Line that cuts across the northern territory. The drainage patterns of Big Chino Wash and Williamson Valley Wash dictate the topography, leading toward the distinct formations of the Sullivan Buttes and the cultural interest of Inscription Canyon. This survey captures the rural character of Yavapai County when the ranching economy was the primary driver of settlement in these expansive valleys.
