About this map

Apache National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape, where seasonal water management is the primary marker of human presence. The terrain is defined by a system of natural basins and man-made improvements including Laguna Verde, Laguna de la Manzana, and Martin Reservoir. These features, along with specialized infrastructure like the Bevorosa Windmill and Mesa Storage Tank, suggest a landscape utilized for livestock grazing within the National Forest System.

The central Jones Canyon and the prominent Bill Knight Gap dictate the movement of roads and trails through the territory. Named water sources such as Tin Cup Spring and Canovas Spring are critical landmarks in this arid environment, while drainage features like Cow Springs Draw illustrate the natural flow toward the Grande. This 1999 revision captures the intersection of forestry administration and local ranching history through its detailed inventory of tanks, wells, and windmills.
