1976 Map of Elwood Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Black River serves as the primary geographic and jurisdictional divide on this map, carving a deep winding path that separates the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to the north from the San Carlos Indian Reservation to the south. This remote high-desert landscape is defined by the expansive San Carlos Plateau and the rugged drainage of Big Bonito Creek. The environment is managed through a network of vital water sources, including Mud Spring Tank, Elwood Tank, and Bloody Basin Tank, which supported the region's livestock and land management operations. Evidence of human infrastructure is found in landmarks like the Elwood Windmill and names like Sawmill Canyon, suggesting localized industries. Navigated primarily by Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, the area remains centered on the natural topography and tribal lands of eastern Arizona.
