1967 Map of Point of Pines East

About this map

Prehistoric Ruins mark the high ground near the archaeological outpost of Point of Pines, situated where the Big Prairie meets the southern descent of the Natanes Plateau. This portion of the San Carlos Indian Reservation reveals a landscape dictated by water access, with essential catchment points like University Charco, Salt Shed Tank, and Maggie Jones Tank scattered across the high plains. The terrain drops sharply at the Nan-Tac Rim, giving way to the deeply incised drainage of the Black River and Cienega Creek. Evidence of early transit and shelter remains through the Picket Trail and the Picket Trail Dugout, reflecting the area's history as a site for both scientific study and traditional land use within Graham County.
