1955 Map of Sunset Knoll 2 SE

About this map

Clear Creek winds through the heart of this high plateau landscape, carving a deep, serpentine canyon that dominates the topography east of East Sunset Mountain. In the mid-1950s, this region near the border of Coconino Co and Navajo Co was defined by its water management for livestock, as evidenced by numerous infrastructure labels. Small-scale ranching operations are documented through several catchment features, including Pump Ranch Tank, Sims Tank, and an isolated Stock Tank. The presence of a Pump House and multiple Windmill sites across the sections indicates the necessity of groundwater extraction in this arid environment. Transportation at this time relied on unpaved routes, with distances noted toward the Winslow-Chevelon Road and Ariz. 65.
