1964 Map of Fort McDowell

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Verde River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the intricate relationship between water management and desert habitation. Within the Fort Mc Dowell Indian Reservation Boundary, the map documents several distinct eras of occupation, ranging from the Fort McDowell (Site) and a local Cem to active agricultural and residential outposts like Box Bar Ranch. To the west, the arid slopes of Mc Dowell Mountain and Lousley Hill provide a stark contrast to the verdant river bottom where the Jones Ditch and numerous siphons trace the movement of water across the valley floor. Purple revisions from the mid-1970s add contemporary layers to the survey, including a Golf Course and several miles of Jeep Trail, signaling the transition toward recreational land use in this corner of the Tonto National Forest.
