1978 Map of Mount Ord

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation and Apache National Forest converge at the high summits of the White Mountains, dominated by the prominent Baldy Peak and Mount Ord. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the headwaters of the Little Colorado River and the West Fork Black River originate. The presence of numerous ciénegas, or high-mountain meadows, such as Bull Cienega, Smith Cienega, and Hall Cienega, indicates a complex hydrological environment essential for the region's ecology. Scattered human footprints appear in the form of the Slade Ranch and the isolated Darnoff Cabin, alongside the White Mountain Reservoir and Lee Valley Reservoir. These features, connected by a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails, reflect the intersection of seasonal ranching, early conservation efforts in the Mount Baldy Wilderness, and the management of water resources within these protected lands.
