1966 Map of Branaman Spring
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The San Carlos Indian Reservation covers the vast majority of this landscape, which is defined by a network of deep drainages and intermittent water sources. Named for the prominent Branaman Spring and nearby Branaman Cave, the topography is carved by Cottonwood Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon. The 1960s survey illustrates a rugged cattle-ranching and range-management infrastructure typical of this part of Graham County, featuring numerous developed water points such as Mule Well, Salt Box Tank, and Boni Tank. Access is limited to a sparse collection of Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges between Salt Creek and Fivemile Wash. The presence of labels like No Way Spring and Lost Man Tank hints at the difficult nature of this high-desert terrain for early travelers and land managers.
