About this map

Cibecue Creek carves a deep path through this portion of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, documenting a landscape defined by its critical water sources in the late 1970s. The geography is marked by an extensive network of named springs and livestock tanks, such as Wool Cutter Spring, Cat Claw Spring, and White Cliff Tank, which supported the region's ranching and land-management needs.

Revised by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the map highlights the intricate canyon systems including Fox Canyon and Well Canyon. The presence of numerous jeep trails and the Flying V route indicates the limited but essential transportation network used to navigate the high-elevation terrain near Cibecue Peak. This survey provides a precise look at the boundary between Navajo and Gila counties during a period of active resource mapping.
