1997 Map of Dix Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Ru Ranch and Martinez Ranch occupy the canyon floors of this remote section of the Apache National Forest in Greenlee County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the San Francisco River, which cuts deeply through a series of high plateaus including Sunflower Mesa and Lone Tree Mesa. Dozens of springs and tanks, such as Yellow Jacket Spring, Snake Ridge Tank, and Blue Holes Spring, indicate a landscape managed for livestock and water conservation in an arid environment. The presence of numerous named canyons like Bird Canyon and Orejana Canyon suggests a complex drainage system feeding the main river artery. Researchers will find a mix of surveyed topography and Protracted Blocks, marking land of uncertain acreage. Landmarks like Pat Mountain and Seep Spring Mountain provide high-ground survey points overlooking the river's descent through the Frisco Bluff area.
