1965 Map of Stoneman Lake

About this map

Stoneman Lake anchors the southeastern portion of this map, appearing as a prominent natural depression within the high plateau of the Coconino National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of volcanic and water-carved features, where numerous tanks and springs served as vital water sources for ranching operations like Woods Ranch. These water points, including Bristow Tank and Kelly Tank, are connected by an intricate web of primitive routes and a Jeep Trail. Evidence of local material extraction is visible at the Cinder Pit and Borrow Pit near the Yavapai and Coconino county line. The terrain transitions from high points like Lee Butte and Luke Mtn into deep drainages such as Rattlesnake Canyon and Rarick Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of the Mogollon Rim country during the mid-1960s.
