About this map

Fort Apache Indian Reservation lands dominate this late-1960s topographic landscape, defined by a complex network of canyons and high-elevation peaks. The northern reaches are anchored by Odart Mtn, which features a prominent Lookout Tower used for fire detection across the dense timber of the White Mountains. Strategic water sources are vital in this terrain, as evidenced by the numerous named springs and watercourses like Big Bonito Creek and Tonto Creek that carve through the geology.

Remote accessibility in the southern portion of the quadrangle is maintained by a Jeep Trail that winds near Maverick Lake and Maverick Mtn. The survey also highlights significant natural clearings and wetlands, specifically the Bull Creek Cienega, which offer critical open space amidst the surrounding slopes of Lion Mountain. This document serves as a detailed record of the reservation's geography before later decades of infrastructure and forest management changes.
