About this map

The Corn Creek Plateau and the surrounding high country define this portion of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. In the early 21st century, the landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and canyons, including Bones Canyon, Williams Canyon, and the prominent Firebox Canyon. Water management is evident through a series of upland features such as Buckhorn Tank, Lower Firebox Tank, and Whitespot Tank, which support the livestock and wildlife of this arid terrain.

Remote outposts and access routes are scarce, with Nyce Cabin serving as a notable landmark near Rock Creek. The hydrology of the area is anchored by the East Fork White River and its various tributaries, including Firebox Creek and Turkey Creek. Transportation through the region is limited to designated routes such as Indian Rte 55 and CO Hwy-60, which navigate between the elevations of Little Brushy Mountain and Grindstone Mountain.
