About this map

St Johns serves as the focal point of this late 1970s survey, positioned where the Little Colorado River meets an arid landscape of high-desert terrain. The town grid is clearly defined by residential streets like West Street and 1st St, surrounding local landmarks such as the Coronado Sch and an Athletic Field. To the east, the East Side Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Apache County.

The topography transitions sharply from the river valley into the broken terrain of the Badlands, a complex system of ridges and drainages including Marion Draw and the Carrizo Wash. Water management in this dry environment is evident through numerous features like Sorenson Lake, Deep Lake Tank, and Alejandro Tank. Small-scale industrial activity is scattered throughout the area, including a Prospect and a Borrow Pit, indicating the local resource extraction of the era.
