1978 Map of Canyon Day
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Kinishba Ruins stands as a central archaeological landmark in this portion of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, located just north of the White River. The landscape is defined by its water management and early transportation routes, featuring numerous stock tanks like Sawtooth Tank and Amos Tank that supported cattle ranching operations. The Old Military Road cuts across the eastern sector, passing near the settlement of Canyon Day and the nearby Stockman Station. This mid-1970s record illustrates a transition in land use, where ancient ruins and historical military trails intersect with modern tribal infrastructure. Notable topographic features such as Sawtooth Mtn and Tsay-se-zhin Butte dominate the horizon, while Bear Canyon and the Sevenmile Rim delineate the drainage patterns leading toward the river valley.
