1972 Map of Buzzard Roost Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Tonto National Forest land defines this portion of Gila County, where the topography is shaped by a complex network of canyons and high mesas. The high ground of Buzzard Roost Mesa and Mailbox Mesa overlooks deep cuts like Breadpan Canyon and Sevenmile Canyon, reflecting a landscape dedicated to cattle ranching and resource extraction in the early 1970s. The presence of the Spring Creek Mine and the small Landing Strip near the center of the sheet highlights the intersection of industrial interest and the necessity for aerial access in this isolated terrain.
