About this map

Bill Williams Mountain dominates the landscape south of Williams, where the high desert meets the forested slopes of the Kaibab National Forest. This 1989 provisional edition documents a critical water management infrastructure for the high-altitude community, featuring numerous tanks and reservoirs such as the Saginaw Reservoirs, Santa Fe Reservoir, and the Dogtown Reservoir. The mapping captures the transition from the city’s corporate limits to the surrounding ranchlands and rugged terrain, marked by Benham Ranch and the Mountain View Cemetery.

Transportation and utility corridors are clearly defined, including the Perkinsville Road and the Bill Williams Loop Road winding through the timber. Significant peaks and knolls like Signal Hill, Coleman Knoll, and Elk Ridge provide clear landmarks for navigation. For local historians, the inclusion of Williams Junction and various cinder and gravel pits illustrates the intersection of rail history and the local extraction economy during the late 20th century.
