About this map

Bill Williams Mtn towers over the southern approach to the town of Williams, anchoring a landscape within the Kaibab National Forest defined by its volcanic knolls and complex drainage systems. The northern edge of the map follows the historic corridor of Old Rte "66" and the BNSF Railway, which intersect near the prominent Williams Junction. Water management is central to this high-country terrain, evidenced by numerous reservoirs and tanks such as the Santa Fe Reservoir, Upper Saginau Reservoir, and the Dogtown Reservoir.

Tracing the topography southward reveals a series of family-named landmarks and geographic features like the McCracken Knolls and Barney Flat. The land descends into deep drainages including Cataract Canyon and Hell Canyon, while the local history of the region is grounded at the Mtn View Cem. The survey illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and the enduring ranching and timber geography of Coconino County.
