1967 Map of Freezeout Mountain

About this map

Fort Apache Indian Reservation and San Carlos Indian Reservation meet along the winding course of the Black River in this 1967 survey. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, featuring a high concentration of livestock tanks such as Yellow Pine Tank, Buckhorn Tank, and Loafer Tank scattered across the high terrain. These features, along with names like Coz Corral Tank, point to a history of high-country ranching within the reservation boundaries. Significant topographic landmarks like Freezeout Mtn and geological breaks such as Malay Gap and B S Gap provide a framework for navigating the network of Jeep Trails that crisscross the drainage basins of Malay Creek and Dry Prong Creek. The map also captures the administrative divide between Apache and Graham Counties, where the high-altitude landscape transitions between these remote river canyons.
