About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation defines this area of Arizona, where the highland terrain drops toward the Salt River in the south. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Chediski Ridge and Pepper Ridge, while the high points are marked by the Gentry Lookout Tower and the Chediski Peak lookout.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated at Grasshopper and Chediski Farms, alongside the Oak Creek Ranch. Cultural history is evident through the notation of Ruins near Grasshopper Butte and the presence of the White Spring Ranger Station. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Cibecue Creek and Spring Creek carving deep into the plateau, while isolated water sources like Wagon Wheel Lake and Nyce Lake provide crucial points of reference in this arid region.
