1967 Map of Mount Ord

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Baldy Peak and Mount Ord dominate this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, marking the rugged boundary between the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and the Apache National Forest. The map reveals a complex hydrologic system where the headwaters of several major rivers originate, including the West Fork Little Colorado River and the East Fork White River. This area is characterized by numerous alpine meadows or cienegas, such as Purcell Cienega, Smith Cienega, and Bonito Cienega, which serve as vital water sources in this mountainous terrain. Human presence is sparse and concentrated along the edges, represented by the Slade Ranch to the north and Darnall Cabin near the southern boundary. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only access through the dense topography, illustrating the area's role as a protected wilderness and managed forest land at the time of the survey.
