1892 Map of St Johns

USGS Topo · Published 1892

About this map

St Johns serves as a central hub in the high desert of eastern Arizona, situated at the confluence of several regional trails and the Little Colorado River. This 1880s survey captures a landscape of early cattle ranching and remote outposts just after the arrival of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad to the north. The map reveals the early development of Springerville and Concho, alongside now-obscure locations such as Erastus and Mineral. Notable natural landmarks include the Petrified Forest and its Natural Bridge, while the southern reaches of the sheet are dominated by the high elevations of Green Peak. The drainage patterns of the Zuni River and Puerco River illustrate the vital water sources that dictated the placement of settlements like The Meadows and Walnut Grove in this arid territory.
