1977 Map of Indian Pine

About this map

The Mogollon Rim escarpment dominates this Arizona high-country landscape, marking a sharp topographic divide between the Sitgreaves National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Settlements such as Pinetop and Indian Pine sit at the northern edge of the reservation boundary, where the transition from forest to lower canyons begins. The map details a complex network of seasonal water sources and tanks, including Pine Lake and Hansen Tank, which supported the region's ranching operations at places like Amos Ranch and Cooley Ranch. South of the rim, the terrain drops into a series of deep drainages including First Hollow, Black Canyon, and Post Office Canyon. Local infrastructure of the late 1970s is evidenced by the Radio Facility, several Cinder Pits, and established recreation sites like the Pinetop Lakes Country Club.
