1961 Map of Blue

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Blue River carves a deep path through this remote portion of the Apache National Forest, defining a landscape where the Mogollon Rim meets the Arizona-New Mexico border. In the early 1960s, the small settlement of Blue served as a focal point for the surrounding canyon country, supported by the Blue Ranger Sta and scattered homesteads like Cosper and Nolan. The geography is defined by high mesas and deep drainages, including KP Mesa and Box Canyon, with the Blue River valley providing the primary corridor for movement. High-altitude landmarks such as Bear Mtn Lookout and Maness Peak overlook the complex system of creeks, including Campbell Blue Creek and Pueblo Creek, that feed the river system during this era of forest management and isolated ranching.
