1912 Map of Roosevelt

About this map

Roosevelt Dam stands as the central engineering feat on this landscape, holding back the waters of the Salt River and Tonto Creek to form the Roosevelt Reservoir. Surveyed between 1905 and 1907, the map documents the region's transition into a managed water system, while still preserving the layout of scattered pioneer outposts like Howell's Ranch and Clanton's Ranch. The topography is dominated by the massive Sierra Ancha range and the distinctive profile of Four Peaks, marking the boundary between Gila and Maricopa counties.
