1998 Map of Taylor

About this map

Silver Creek defines the local geography of this Navajo County landscape, cutting a path through the high plateau where the settlements of Snowflake and Taylor were established. This 1998 revision, based on earlier surveys, captures the developed corridor along Pinedale Road, featuring local institutions like the Snowflake Jr High School and the Rodeo Grounds. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Sitgreaves National Forest, where the small community of Shumway sits near the Shumway Cem. The map illustrates a sophisticated water management system necessary for this environment, including The Canal, the Millet Swale Dam, and numerous diversion dams. From the Taylor Airport to the crossings at Schoens Crossing, the sheet provides a detailed look at the agricultural and civic infrastructure of these neighboring Mormon pioneer settlements during the late 20th century.
