1986 Map of Rock House
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Tonto National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation meet in this mid-1980s topographic study, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high mesas. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including numerous isolated springs such as Middle Trap Spring, Middleton Mesa Spring, and Dead Cow Spring that dot the high country. These points of water, along with named drainage systems like Wilson Creek and Horse Tank Creek, dictate the movement through this difficult terrain. High points like Castle Peak, Gunsight Butte, and Brushy Top Mountain serve as primary navigational landmarks. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the form of scattered prospects and adits, particularly near Keystone Ridge and the Rock House area. This map provides a detailed view of the land as it was surveyed just before the final decade of the 20th century.
