About this map

The settlement of Carrizo lies near the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Gila County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and ridges. Modern livestock management is evident throughout the area, marked by numerous named water sources such as Carrizo Tank, Mud Cat Tank, and Butterball Tank. These man-made features support ranching across elevations ranging from the heights of Cibecue Ridge down to the drainage of Carrizo Creek.

Prominent landmarks like Ragged Top Mtn, Wild Dove Butte, and Cow Pasture Butte provide significant vertical relief against the surrounding flats and ridges. To the south and east, the map reveals deeply incised canyons including Red Canyon, Bat Canyon, and Water Trough Canyon. The presence of labels such as Flying V Canyon and Spear-R Spring suggest established land use and grazing history in this part of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation vicinity.
