About this map

Fort Apache Indian Reservation high country is documented here during the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by an intricate network of alpine creeks and sprawling cienegas. Isolated outposts such as Duke Ranch and Reservation Ranch anchor the human presence in this high-elevation terrain, while the hydrologic importance of the area is clear from the many named drainages including Bonito Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Pacheta Creek.

Evidence of historical industry and transit appears in the form of an Old Railroad Grade and a Quarry situated near Cienega. The map provides detailed locations for several mountain lakes, such as Reservation Lake and Pacheta Lake, which are accompanied by designated campgrounds. Prominent local landmarks like Bonito Rock, Burnt Mountain, and Aspen Butte stand as significant navigational points for researchers tracing the geography of Apache County.
