1989 Map of Harden Cienega

About this map

The San Francisco River snakes through the northern reaches of this high-country landscape, defining a rugged corridor between the Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest. This 1989 provisional edition captures a transition zone along the Arizona and New Mexico state line, where the topography is defined by high mesas like Table Top Mesa and Dix Mesa. The map serves as a detailed record of water management in a dry environment, noting numerous isolated improvements such as Dix Saddle Tank No 1, Prospect Tank, and Rock Spring.
