2014 Map of Nutrioso

About this map

Nutrioso and the small settlement of Feaster sit within the high-elevation terrain of the Apache National Forest, where water management and ranching define the landscape. This 2014 survey captures a network of livestock tanks and reservoirs, such as Nutrioso Reservoir, Hulsey Lake, and Riggs Creek Reservoir, which are vital for land use in this arid region. For those researching local family history, the map identifies the Maxwell Cem and Rogers Cem, serving as important genealogical markers for early residents. The geography is shaped by prominent peaks and ridges including Gobbler Peak, Noble Mountain, and the uniquely named Profanity Ridge. Transportation through these mountain passes is anchored by US Hwy 180 and US Hwy 191, which converge at the Alpine Divide, a significant natural waypoint for travelers crossing the eastern Arizona highlands.
