1969 Map of Greens Peak

About this map

Greens Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape of the White Mountains, reaching an elevation of 10,133 feet and serving as a prominent landmark with its summit Lookout Tower and Radio Towers. The 1969 survey captures a transitional boundary between the Apache National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, where the terrain drops from volcanic peaks into broad meadows and cienegas. Ranching history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by the Colter Ranch and the nearby Old Colter Ranch. The map details an intricate network of water management features essential for high-country livestock and wildlife, from Carnero Lake and A-1 Lake to numerous named springs like Beehive Spr and Swinborne Spring. The presence of several cinder and gravel pits suggests the era's local material extraction for forest road maintenance and development.
