About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation and Tonto National Forest meet along a dramatic landscape defined by the deep carving of the Salt River. This late-1980s survey illustrates a rugged intersection of Gila County terrain where the river course is bounded by the Salt River Canyon Wilderness and high features like Mustang Ridge. Human activity is primarily centered on remote resource management and mining, indicated by scattered prospects and a Mine Shaft located north of Gleason Flat. The network of water management features, including Medicine Butte Tank No 2 and Quail Tank, reveals the vital infrastructure required for cattle or land management in this arid environment. Significant natural landmarks such as Picacho Colorado and the winding Canyon Creek dominate the topography, providing clear navigational markers for those studying the historical geography of this transition zone between tribal and forest lands.
