Notes
  • Significance: For a century beginning in the 1870s, stock raising was the main economic activity of Anglo settlers in the remote and arid Arizona Strip, and it caused tremendous changes to the ecology of the region and the lifeways of the Native Americans who lived there. Waring Ranch represents the ways that cattle operations in the region were assembled and run by the generation of ranchers who, benefitting from changes in federal homesteading law, established themselves in the region in the 1910s and 1920s. The ranch comprises cabins, corrals, springs, natural water pockets, stock tanks, and fence lines spread across tens of thousands of acres on the Kelly Point plateau in northern Arizona. Beginning about 1925 and continuing into the 1950s, New York-born rancher Jonathan Deyo Waring homesteaded and purchased pockets of property around key water sources on this arid plateau in order to support the grazing of cattle on the surrounding public range. At the ranch's fullest extent, Waring held a federal grazing permit that allowed him use of more than 109,400 acres, based on his ownership of just 9,613 acres. This and his other grazing allotments in the region made Waring one of the largest stock owners on the Arizona Strip by the time he retired in the 1960s.
