1991 Map of Beaverhead

About this map

Apache National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape within the Blue River drainage system. The settlement of Beaverhead serves as a central reference point in an area dominated by sharp ridges and deep canyons, including Nest Canyon and Hawks Nest Canyon. The mapping identifies a complex network of water features and landforms such as Middle Mountain and the Red Hills, while infrastructure is limited to a Gaging Station and a Trans Line crossing the northern territory. This 1991 provisional edition captures the land before contemporary management changes, documenting specific local landmarks like Castle Rock, Bell Rock, and the curious terrain of the Devils Washboard. For the local historian or outdoorsman, the map traces several Pack Trail routes and identifies water sources like Cleveland Spring, providing a clear look at the primitive travel ways that once linked isolated corrals and vistas like Carlton Vista.
