About this map

The high desert landscape of Coconino National Forest east of Flagstaff is defined by the corridors of transportation and dramatic geology captured in this late 1960s survey. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the highway formerly known as Route 66, serving small trackside points like Cosnino, Winona, and Darling. These settlements represent the mid-century infrastructure of northern Arizona, supported by the Winona Substation and proximity to the railroad line.

Topographically, the area is dominated by the deep incisions of Walnut Canyon, part of which is preserved within the Walnut Canyon National Monument. Volcanic activity is evident at Cinder Mountain and the nearby Cinder Pit, while the scarcity of water is underscored by numerous named livestock tanks and the Santa Fe Dam along Walnut Creek. To the south, the map identifies isolated Ruins and the Foster Ranch, marking the intersection of ancient habitation and modern ranching history.
