1990 Map of Heber

About this map

The neighboring settlements of Heber and Overgaard dominate the central portion of this 1990 survey, appearing as established residential hubs within the Sitgreaves National Forest. The map captures the infrastructure of these mountain communities, showing a grid of streets, a Trailer Park, and essential services like the Heber Ranger Station and a local Cem. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages such as Black Canyon and Buckskin Canyon, while flatter regions like Oklahoma Flat host specialized developments, including the Overgaard Airport and a Golf Course. Local recreation and utility are evidenced by Tall Timbers County Park and various water sources like Bigler Tank and Hewitt Tank, which were vital for sustaining life and ranching in this high-country environment. The inclusion of a Heliport and several radio towers suggests the area's role as a regional coordination point for forest management and emergency services.
