2021 Map of Nutrioso

About this map

Nutrioso serves as the central hub of this high-altitude landscape, where the valley of Nutrioso Cr meets the foothills of the Apache National Forest. The map documents a community deeply rooted in its local geography, evidenced by several family and community burial grounds including Nutrioso Cem, Rogers Cem, and Maxwell Cem. This 2021 survey illustrates a sophisticated network of water management essential for the region, featuring several reservoirs and tanks such as Nutrioso Reservoir, Riggs Cr Reservoir, and Jarvis Lake. High points like Noble Mtn and Gobbler Peak overlook the Alpine Divide, while named springs such as Whitetail Spring and Carex Spring indicate the critical water sources that have supported ranching and settlement in these mountains for generations. The layout of county roads and forest tracks reveals a landscape defined by its drainages, where Hulsey Cr and Paddy Cr carve through the timbered terrain.
