1966 Map of Round Top Mtn

About this map

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation defines this 1960s landscape, illustrating a complex network of water management and livestock infrastructure across the Arizona high country. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Round Top Mtn and the prominent Lake Ridge. Water sources are the primary identifiers here, with numerous named tanks and springs like G-5 Farm Spring, Steer Pasture Spring, and Coyote Tank supporting local ranching operations. The drainage patterns of Canyon Creek and East Big Cedar Creek dictate the movement of travel, as indicated by the various jeep and pack trails crossing the county line between Gila and Navajo. Notable landmarks like the 85 Bar Spring and the Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary offer specific points of interest for those studying historical land use and the development of the reservation's resources during the mid-20th century.
