1955 Map of Wolford Springs 3 SW
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Zion Reservoir and its associated Zion Dam anchor the northern reaches of this mid-1950s high-desert landscape in Apache County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Colorado River and the prominent Black Ridge, which rises to the west. Evidence of ranching and early infrastructure is scattered throughout the survey, from the Jolley Place and Heap Place to numerous isolated stock tanks and windmills. Near the settlement of St Johns at the southern edge of the sheet, the presence of a Landing Strip and Race Tracks suggests a local hub of activity and transit. The map also documents an extensive system of water management with various ditches and irrigation features like Big Hollow Wash feeding into the river system, reflecting the vital importance of water in this arid Arizona environment.
