1991 Map of Hoodoo Knoll

About this map

The Black River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Eastern Arizona, serving as a significant geographical boundary between the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and the Apache National Forest. This 1991 provisional survey documents a landscape defined by high-elevation landforms and complex water systems, including Hoodoo Knoll and the extensive Bear Wallow Wilderness to the south. The terrain is marked by dramatic points and benches, such as Wildcat Point and Fish Bench, which overlook a network of drainages including Snake Creek and Conklin Creek. Remote access is indicated by the Pack Trail and Wallow Pack Trail, while small-scale human imprints like McKibbins Pond and a lone Gravel Pit suggest localized utility within these protected public and tribal lands. The intersection of Greenlee, Graham, and Apache counties near the San Carlos Indian Reservation boundary highlights the map's value for understanding regional administrative limits.
