1989 Map of Dix Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The San Francisco River cuts a deep, winding path through this portion of the Apache National Forest, meeting the Blue River in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The presence of the Martinez Ranch near the confluence of Dix Creek highlights the sparse but persistent human footprint in this remote Arizona territory. Much of the water management on this high desert terrain is focused on stock tanks and springs, such as Red Tank Well, Snake Ridge Tank, and the notably named Blue Holes Spring. The topography is characterized by flat-topped features like Antelope Mesa and Hickey Mesa, which are separated by steep drainages including Lightning Canyon and Sixshooter Canyon. This 1989 provisional survey captures the transition from high mesas to river bottoms before modern development, preserving the locations of remote line shacks and seasonal water sources essential for cattle ranching.
