1969 Map of Walker Mtn.

About this map

M Diamond Ranch and Bull Pen Ranch anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Coconino National Forest. The 1969 field-checked survey reveals an intricate network of livestock water management, with dozens of named features such as Goswick Lake Tank, Wickiup Tank No 1, and Sawlog Tank No 2 scattered across the plateau. The terrain is defined by significant landmarks like Walker Mountain and Thirteenmile Rock Butte, while evidence of historical habitation is marked by several locations labeled simply as Ruins. Strategic water sources like Hance Spring and the Jawbone Windmill underscore the necessity of water infrastructure in this arid environment. The map details a transition from the elevated Cedar Bench down into deep canyons, traced by narrow roads and jeep trails that connect these remote ranching outposts.
