1912 Map of Roosevelt

About this map

Roosevelt Dam dominates the landscape of this 1912 survey, anchoring the massive Roosevelt Reservoir at the confluence of Tonto Creek and the Salt River. This early century depiction captures the region's transition into a managed water system, with an Electric Power Line already cutting across the terrain toward Schell's Station. The map serves as a detailed record of pioneer-era ranching and logistics, showing numerous family holdings such as Sunflower Ranch, Cline's Ranch, and Howell's Ranch scattered along the mountain drainages.
