1970 Map of Turkey Mtn.

About this map

Coconino National Forest defines this high-country landscape, where 1970s land management is visible through an extensive network of water tanks and cattle infrastructure. The geography is carved by prominent drainage systems like Willow Valley, Antelope Draw, and Bargaman Draw, which reveal the critical importance of water conservation in the Arizona backcountry. Named landmarks such as Turkey Mtn and Oak Hill rise above the terrain, while the map records specific local features like the Bar O Corral and the Wingfield Corral. This survey captures the transition of the region through its nomenclature, featuring curiously named watering points like Foot In Tree Tank, Two Jim Tank, and the secluded Lost Eden near Jacks Canyon. For those tracing local ranching history, the distribution of corrals and jeep trails illustrates how this part of Coconino County was navigated and utilized before modern development.
