1965 Map of Stoneman Lake

About this map

Stoneman Lake serves as a rare natural focal point in this high-altitude landscape within the Coconino National Forest. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems including Woods Canyon, Rarick Canyon, and Rattlesnake Canyon, which carve through the volcanic plateau. The presence of numerous named water catchments like Basco Tank, Kelly Tank, and Little Daisy Tank highlights the critical importance of water management for livestock and wildlife in this timbered region. High points such as Lee Butte, Luke Mtn, and Fain Mtn provide clear landmarks across the forest. Resource extraction is noted by a Cinder Pit and Borrow Pit near Rarick Tank, indicating the mid-century development of forest roads and infrastructure.
