About this map

Cassadore Spring and the surrounding high-country landscape of Gila County are meticulously detailed in this survey. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages including Sawmill Canyon, Sycamore Cr, and Alder Cr, which dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure. Named "traps" like Wild Beef Trap, Big Cedar Trap, and Geronimo Trap reveal the area's legacy of livestock management, indicating where cattle were gathered in this dissected topography.

Transport and water access are central to the map's layout, with Bear Canyon Junction serving as a key node for BIA roads. Numerous tanks and springs, such as Rose Garden Tank, Horse Camp Spring, and Keam Spring, are vital landmarks in an area dominated by Bull Pasture and the prominent Indian Lookout. The map also identifies the site of an old Sawmill near the headwaters of Sawmill Cr, tying the landscape to early local industry.
