2011 Map of Marshall Butte

About this map

Marshall Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Arizona's Apache County, defined by an intricate network of drainages and canyons. The East Fork White River cuts through the northern reaches near Elk Canyon, while the southern portion is dominated by the confluence of Big Bonito Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Bonito Creek and Crooked Creek. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a terrain largely shaped by water, where named features like Lofer Bench and Lofer Cienega Creek suggest a landscape used primarily for ranching or seasonal movement. While Co Hwy 72 and Rock Creek appear in the west, much of the area remains dominated by natural topography, providing a clear record of the watershed patterns that feed the White River system.
