1966 Map of Chiricahua Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The San Carlos Indian Reservation dominates this mid-1960s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and significant vertical relief. The Natanes Plateau rises sharply in the eastern portion of the map, overlooking the winding course of the Blue River. This area is characterized by a network of drainage features like Rocky Gulch and White Cow Canyon, where water management is critical to the local geography. Isolated watering points such as Hospital Tank, Turkey Roost Tank, and Red Tank Well are meticulously documented, illustrating how life and livestock movement were tied to these specific, named locations. The prominent Chiricahua Butte serves as a primary landmark along the eastern boundary, while Blue River Spring provides a rare permanent water source in the central canyonlands.
