2011 Map of Nutrioso

About this map

Nutrioso serves as the central hub of this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of Nutrioso Creek and Auger Creek carve through the transition from ranching valleys to mountain passes. The presence of Maxwell Cemetery and Rogers Cemetery near the town site provides critical data for genealogists tracking early families in this part of Apache County. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as the Nutrioso Reservoir and Rioso Reservoir, which support a network of ranching operations including Foster Ranch and the Miller Ranch. Near the southern boundary, the map documents the Alpine Divide, a notable geographic crest where the Alpine Divide Campground and Tal-Wi-Wi Lodge cater to travelers moving between the White Mountains and the San Francisco River drainage. A complex system of forest roads and county routes, including Co RD 2120 and Co RD 2010, connects isolated peaks like Gobbler Peak to the primary settlements.
