1954 Map of Winslow 4 SE

About this map

Rincon Ranch and the small settlement of Edge anchor this mid-1950s survey of the high desert landscape northeast of Winslow. The terrain is defined by the broad Rincon Basin and the elevated Mesa, where water management was clearly the priority for local inhabitants. Numerous Stock Tanks, Windmill sites, and a Dam are scattered across the quadrangle, illustrating the infrastructure required to sustain life and livestock in this arid environment. Transportation through the area follows the historic Winslow-Polacca Road, which cuts diagonally across the topography. Notable landmarks include an Airway Beacon for mid-century navigation and the seasonal drainage patterns of Cottonwood Wash and Fern Feather Wash. The map even captures a localized social hub at a Springs-fed Swimming Pool near the ranch, a rare recreational feature in this sparsely populated region.
