About this map

Williams serves as the focal point for this northern Arizona landscape, situated at the doorstep of the Kaibab National Forest. The map documents a transition from the town’s urban infrastructure—including Athletic Fields, a Golf Course, and Sewage Disposal Ponds—to the surrounding high-elevation plateaus and canyons. A complex water management system is evident through a series of named tanks and lakes, such as Threemile Lake, Holden Lake, and Cataract Lake, which provide critical resources in this arid environment.

Transport and utility corridors cut through the terrain, featuring a Trans Line, a Pipeline, and the Williams Municipal Airport with its associated Airway Beacon. Evidence of local industry is visible in the various Cinder Pit and Gravel Pit locations, while recreation is highlighted by the Kaibab Lake Recreation Site and the Coconino County Recreation Site. The rugged topography is defined by features like Cataract Canyon and the Three Sisters peaks, illustrating the area's geological character during the late 1980s.
