About this map

Apache National Forest lands dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude lookouts. Centered on Rose Peak, the terrain is marked by a complex network of waterways including Strayhorse Creek, Rousensock Creek, and Squaw Creek. Human presence is sparse, centered primarily around the A D Bar Ranch and the small settlement at Pine Flat near the southern boundary.

The presence of a Lookout Tower atop Rose Peak and the historic Coronado Trail highlights the area's importance for forest management and transit. Significant geographic landmarks like Strayhorse Divide and Telephone Mesa provide a clear view of the drainage patterns, where numerous springs like Thomas Creek Spring and Bear Spring serve as critical water sources. This 1967 field-checked map offers a precise record of the remote ranching and forest service infrastructure in Greenlee County before later developments.
