About this map

Strawberry sits within the Strawberry Valley, marking a transition between the elevated heights of the Mogollon Rim and the deep incisions of the surrounding canyon country. This 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by its vital water sources and early infrastructure, notably the Irving Powerplant situated along Fossil Creek. The topography is a complex network of plateaus including Deadman Mesa and Hardscrabble Mesa, separated by steep drops into Fossil Canyon and Boulder Canyon.

Evidence of ranching and early travel routes is preserved through labels like the Lazy T-7 Ranch and the historic Mail Trail. The map also captures the extensive water management system of the era, recording numerous livestock tanks such as Tin Can Tank and Blue Tank that supported high-country grazing. Large portions of the terrain are protected within the Coconino National Forest and the Mazatzal Wilderness, emphasizing the region's character as a managed natural resource area.
