2014 Map of Carrizo SE

About this map

The Salt River Canyon dominates this landscape in eastern Arizona, where the Salt River carves through the terrain alongside significant tributaries like Carrizo Creek and Cedar Creek. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by complex drainage systems and isolated landforms such as Bull Butte and Cowboy Butte. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including cattle tanks and natural springs named for local landmarks or settlers, such as Bonehead Tank, John Moore Spring, and the curiously named Golden Roll Spring. Transportation through these canyons is facilitated by several Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-19 and Bia-16, which navigate the steep descents into Alkali Canyon and Abdoul Canyon. This map provides a detailed look at the hydraulic infrastructure and topographic elevations necessary for managing livestock and land in Gila County's arid environment.
