About this map

The rugged boundary between the Sitgreaves National Forest and the Apache Indian Reservation defines this mountain landscape, following the prominent Mogollon Rim through the central portion of the survey. The settlement of Mc Nary serves as a hub for the region's timber-related infrastructure, situated near the Forestry Station and a local Fish Hatchery. Northward, the growing communities of Lakeside and Pinetop are anchored by water resources such as Rainbow Lake, Scott Reservoir, and Woodland Reservoir.

Genealogists can identify specific burial grounds including Lakeside Cem and a smaller unnamed Cem near the Pinetop area. The land is marked by volcanic geology, featuring numerous cinder cones like Cooley Mtn and Blue Ridge Mtn, along with several Cinder Pits. The network of Jeep Trails and Fire Roads provides a detailed look at the era's access to remote springs like Thompson Spring and Haystack Cienega.
