1973 Map of Turkey Canyon NE

About this map

Big Chino Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in the early 1970s, defined by the wide drainage of the Big Chino Wash. The map documents a sparsely settled region of Yavapai County where water management is the primary sign of human activity, evidenced by numerous livestock water catchments such as Double O Tank and Red Hill Tank. To the southwest, the northern reaches of the Prescott National Forest rise into the timbered slopes of the Juniper Mountains, providing a stark contrast to the open alluvial flats below.
