1966 Map of Ash Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Natanes Plateau dominates the northern landscape of this 1966 survey, where the high mesa drops sharply into the rugged canyons of the San Carlos Indian Reservation. This terrain is defined by its drainage systems, most notably Ash Creek and the curiously named Sweetmeat Draw, which carve deep into the plateau's southern face. The map reveals a land utilized primarily for ranching and resource management, evidenced by numerous water catchments like Armstrong Tank, Deadman Tank, and Kidde Tank. A remote outpost marked as Wild Monkey Trap sits on the plateau's edge, highlighting the localized nomenclature of the Arizona backcountry. Navigability is limited to a primitive Jeep Trail that winds along the creek beds, following the natural contours of Kidde Canyon toward the Gila and Graham County line.
