1978 Map of Horseshoe Cienega

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The high-elevation meadows and alpine wetlands of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and the Apache National Forest are documented in this late 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its ciénegas—distinctive desert marshlands—such as Yellow Jacket Cienega, Old Corral Cienega, and Elk Spring Cienega. These water sources were vital for the region's livestock and wildlife management, supported by infrastructure like the Junction Tank and various named springs including Thode Cabin Spring and C C Hall Spring. To the south, Lame Deer Canyon and Paradise Park showcase the rugged drainage systems that feed into the White River system. The presence of the Paradise Park Youth Camp and multiple campgrounds near Shush Be Tou Bog reflects the mid-century transition of these ancestral lands toward managed recreational use while maintaining the footprint of earlier ranching, as seen at Ryan Ranch.
