2018 Map of Marshall Butte

About this map

Marshall Butte stands as a central high point in this 2018 survey of Apache County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining the high country. The northern reaches are carved by the E Fork White River and Elk Canyon, while the southern terrain is dominated by a system of creeks including Little Bonito Cr and Big Bonito Cr. Of particular interest to local historians is the Lofer Cienega, a wetland feature located near Lofer Cienega Cr and the broad plateau of Lofer Bench. The map illustrates the transition from high ridgelines down into the deep incisions of Long Canyon, providing a clear record of the watershed and the primitive road network, such as Co RD 72, that navigates these high-elevation ranges.
