1997 Map of Beargrass Basin

About this map

San Carlos Indian Reservation land dominates this high-elevation terrain, where complex drainage networks like Brushy Wash and Goodwin Canyon cut through the landscape. The geography is defined by its water sources, many of which supported early camps and seasonal activity. Historically significant markers like the Old Indian Treaty Boundary run across the northern section, crossing through the prominent Beargrass Basin. Small-scale evidence of human settlement and resource exploration is scattered throughout the canyons, including a Prospect near Mine Canyon and the site of Dutch Cabin Spring. These named springs, including Fiddler Camp Spring and Wolk Spring, provided the essential infrastructure for movement through this arid Arizona territory, connecting remote outposts such as Goat Camp and Lower Goat Camp.
