1892 Map of St Johns

About this map

St Johns serves as the focal point for this late nineteenth-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Little Colorado River and Zuni River systems. The landscape reflects an era of early Territorial-era settlement and infrastructure, with the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad cutting through the northern reaches near the Puerco River. To the west, the early boundaries of the Petrified Forest National Monument are already defined, preserving a geologic wonder alongside established cattle-country landmarks like Windmill Ranch and Mexican Crossing.
