About this map

The Winslow city center is the heart of this mid-century survey, revealing a dense grid of streets along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. As a vital hub on the legendary Route 66, the town features a mix of aviation and automotive infrastructure, from the Winslow Municipal Airport with its Airport Beacon to a local Drive-in Theater. Beyond the urban core, the residential expansion into Bushman Acres and the presence of Jefferson School indicate a growing post-war community.

The surrounding Navajo County landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Colorado River and significant topographic features like Tucker Mesa and Tucker Coulee. Rural life is marked by numerous Windmills and Stock Tanks, essential for ranching in the Winslow-Holbrook Basin. To the south, the Cottonwood Wash and Promontory Tower provide key landmarks for those tracing the historical geography of this high-desert region.
