1912 Map of Roosevelt

About this map

Roosevelt Dam stands as the primary engineering marvel of this central Arizona landscape, having recently been completed at the time of this survey. The resulting Roosevelt Reservoir floods the junction of the Salt River and Tonto Creek, a transformative change for the region's geography and water management. Along the shores and tucked into the surrounding mountains, numerous homesteads like Clines Ranch, Howell's Ranch, and Lockwood Ranch mark the early ranching era in the Tonto National Forest. In the south, the Tonto National Monument preserves ancient history near the new settlement of Roosevelt. Transportation routes are defined by rugged geography, shown by Reno Pass and Four Peaks Pass, while the early energy infrastructure is visible in the Electric Power Line stretching across Mormon Flat.
