1989 Map of Williams North

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this northern Arizona survey, surrounding the northern edge of Williams, which includes an early Golf Course and several Athletic Fields. The map documents a critical transition point for water management in the high desert, featuring a complex network of reservoirs and tanks such as Kaibab Lake, Cataract Lake, and Gonzalez Lake. These water sources, alongside the deep incision of Cataract Creek Canyon, reveal the historical reliance on catchment systems for both ranching and municipal needs in Coconino County. Transportation and infrastructure are centered around Airport Road leading to the Williams Municipal Airport and its Airway Beacon, while the northern reaches show the open-range character of the land at Pronghorn Ranch. This record is particularly valuable for tracing the growth of the corporate boundary around Williams and the distribution of various Cinder Pit operations and gravel excavations that supported local development.
