1975 Map of Greens Peak

About this map

Greens Peak stands as the dominant topographical feature in this high-elevation portion of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, where the Apache National Forest meets tribal lands. By the mid-1970s, the landscape reflects a complex network of water management and recreational development, highlighted by the sprawling Sunrise Lake and the Sunrise Lodge complex. A distinct pattern of resource and range management is evident through the numerous named tanks and springs, such as Sherlock Tank, Ed Walker Tank, and Udall Draw Springs, which supported both local ecosystems and livestock. The area's infrastructure is further defined by the Diversion Ditch and multiple lookout and radio towers, illustrating the intersection of forest fire monitoring and modern communication. From the shores of A-1 Lake to the heights of Big Cienega Mountain, the map provides a look at the White Mountain Apache Tribe's stewardship of this timbered and volcanic terrain.
