1969 Map of Walker Mtn.

About this map

The M Diamond Ranch and Bull Pen Ranch anchor this landscape within the Coconino National Forest in Yavapai County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and basins, including Walker Mountain, Cactus Mountain, and the massive Black Mountain. Water management is the primary human imprint shown, with dozens of named livestock tanks such as Goswick Lake Tank, Wickup Tank No 1, and Walker Basin Tank scattered across the high country. These features, along with the Jawbone Windmill, reveal the importance of seasonal water sources for cattle operations in this arid environment. Traces of historical activity are visible in the form of unnamed ruins and several named trails like Deadwood Tr, which traverse the high benches and deep canyons of the Cedar Bench and Blodgett Basin.
