About this map

The Blue River carves a deep path through the heart of the Apache National Forest in this 1967 field-checked survey of Greenlee County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Strayhorse Creek, Dutch Blue Creek, and Thomas Creek feed into the primary river corridor. Human activity is represented by isolated outposts such as the H U Bar Ranch and several backcountry shelters including Winter Cabin and White Rocks Cabin.

Thermal activity and geologic variety are evident at Hannah Hot Spring and the nearby Hannah Springs, located just north of the Zuni Basin. The map captures a transition between high-elevation landmarks like Alder Peak and unique canyon formations such as the H U Bar Box and Little Blue Box. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the primary means of navigation through these varied basins and canyons, including Tornado Canyon and Bonehead Basin.
