1967 Map of Bee Canyon

About this map

Apache National Forest and an Indian Reservation dominate this landscape along the border of Graham and Greenlee counties in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Eagle Creek, Big Dry Canyon, and Bear Canyon, which supported isolated ranching operations. The Double Circle Ranch sits near the creek, adjacent to a small Cem and Gaging Station. Water management is the primary sign of human development here, indicated by numerous scattered tanks such as Baseline Tank No 2, Division Tank, and Hidden Tank. High mesas like No Bar Mesa and Sunflower Mesa rise above the canyons, where jeep trails provide the only access to No Bar Ranch and remote water sources like Horse Springs.
