1978 Map of Bonito Prairie

About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by the water management systems of the high desert, where numerous tanks and springs supported ranching operations in the late 1970s. The topography of Bonito Prairie is etched by drainage systems like Nash Creek, Turkey Creek, and Sevenmile Draw, which flow through deep canyons toward Bonito Creek. Evidence of local land use is visible at the P Ranch and the Stockman Station, connected by a network of primitive roads and a Jeep Trail. These outposts, along with features like the Nash Creek Reservoir and Chino Spring, reflect the essential infrastructure required for livestock and survival in this corner of the White Mountain Apache territory. This survey incorporates revisions by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, providing a detailed record of water sources such as Catfish Tank and Antelope Tank.
