About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation encompasses this high-elevation landscape, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high ridges. Significant water features like Hawley Lake and Christmas Tree Lake dominate the northwestern and western sectors, respectively, indicating the area's importance for water management and recreation in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by prominent landmarks such as Tiger Butte, Apache Butte, and Aspen Ridge, with elevations reaching several thousand feet.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated at the Paradise Park Youth Camp and several designated picnic areas, while the movement through the terrain relies on a network of named trails, including a Jeep Trail winding through the canyons. Numerous springs and cienegas, such as Maverick Cienega, feed into the various forks of the North Fork Diamond Creek and the White River East Fork, illustrating the critical role of these highlands in the regional watershed.
