About this map

The White Mountains of Apache County define this high-elevation landscape, characterized by an intricate network of alpine creeks and numerous cienegas—high-altitude wetlands critical to the local ecosystem. The map detail highlights the hydrologic importance of the region, featuring several significant bodies of water such as Reservation Lake, Pacheta Lake, and Hurricane Lake. Significant landmarks like Bonito Rock and Aspen Butte provide topographic anchors among the drainage basins of Big Bonito Creek and Reservation Creek.

Remote roads like Co RD 8 and Co RD 70 wind through the township boundaries, providing access to secluded areas like Drift Fence Lake and Charvoldes Spring. The prominence of named wetlands, including Upper Pacheta Cienega and Bonito Rock Cienega, suggests a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and meadows. This survey offers a precise look at the wilderness character and complex drainage patterns within the Apache-Sitgreaves region.
