1978 Map of Beckers Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Salt River carves a deep boundary through this Central Arizona landscape, separating the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to the north from the San Carlos Indian Reservation to the south. This 1970s topographic record shows a land defined by its water sources, with family-named or descriptive landmarks like Ike Clyde Tank, Bohee Tank, and Flying V Spring supporting life and livestock in the arid terrain. The high ground of Black Mesa and the prominent Beckers Butte overlook a complex network of drainages including Walnut Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. The presence of a Gaging Station and a Prospect along the river corridor reflects the vital management of water and the search for mineral resources. A primitive transportation network consisting of a Jeep Trail, Trail, and Pack Trail highlights the difficulty of moving through this canyon-cut geography.
