I am well aware it is not all desert. However, you don't seem to be fully aware of what desert, or near-deserts, actually are.

All of those except Winslow/Holbrook are in near-desert areas. And those two are in the desert. Nothing is grown there, or can be. Water situation, just as bad.

Williams also would need to deal with a near-hit from the Navajo Depot. Fires from that strike, and the Phoenix Metro, would burn a lot of land, too. Add refugees for Williams and Globe.

For that matter, whatever is left of Winslow/Holbrook and Show Low/Pinetop is in Navajo territory.

To kill off the Metro, strikes in Phoenix and Scottsdale are needed. Geography dictates it. Scottsdale has also been a major center for the air industry for a long time. Got nothing to do with size.

Overall, far as we can determine, only the Prescott area, in addition to the Navajo, would have had the means to survive and not been burned up.

Fairly sure that they would not have, Even if they had, they'd have still been somewhere in Illinois by DD. Given the break in their schedule, bet on Chicago somewhere.
