1955 Map of St. Joseph 1 SE

About this map

The small farming settlement of Woodruff serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey, situated at a critical bend where the Little Colorado River winds through the high desert. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the river to irrigation and livestock infrastructure, including the Woodruff Lake reservoir and a Gaging Sta downstream from the town. Rising prominently to the north, the volcanic landform of Woodruff Butte dominates the local topography, acting as a landmark for travelers on the nearby Route 260. Beyond the town site, the map documents the seasonal hydrology of the region, marked by the drainage of Washboard Wash and Carr Lake Draw, alongside numerous Stock Tanks and Windmills that reflect the area's deep-rooted ranching history. A local Cemetery is also noted near the town, providing a specific point of interest for those researching the early families of this high-plateau community.
