1964 Map of Greenback Creek

About this map

Horse Range Mesa and the high ridges of the Sierra Ancha dominate this 1960s landscape, where cattle ranching and mining define the local economy. In the Tonto Basin, historic property lines and isolated outposts like Conway Ranch and Bouquet Ranch sit near the drainage of Greenback Creek. The southern edge of the survey reaches the waters of Theodore Roosevelt Lake, while several mining operations, including the Bluebird Mine and Saguaro Mine, are mapped along the canyons and gulches. Significant topographic features like Methodist Mtn and Three Sisters Mountain overlook the Tonto National Forest, providing a detailed look at the trail networks and primitive routes like the A-Cross Road that connected these remote Arizona highlands before modern development.
