1968 Map of Tucker Mesa SW

About this map

Meteor City and the small siding of Dennison anchor the northern landscape along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad in the late 1960s. This arid corridor in Coconino County is defined by its transit infrastructure and ranching outposts, where survival depends on a network of scattered water sources such as Mud Lake, Pitchfork Tank, and Ogilvie Well. The presence of the Chilson Landing Strip and the Sunshine Overpass near Cow Canyon highlights the intersection of local aviation and interstate travel routes. Further south, Meteor Crater Ranch sits amidst a network of jeep trails and quarries, marking a remote area where industrial activity and cattle ranching coexist. The map's detailed plotting of minor dams and tanks like Boulder Dam and Bull Tank provides a clear view of the water management essential for desert habitation and industry during this era.
