About this map

Crosby Crossing and the surrounding high-country landscape of eastern Arizona define this 2011 survey, where water management is central to the land's utility. Named for the prominent volcanic feature Rudd Knoll, the area is densely marked by a network of engineered tanks and reservoirs, including Slade Reservoir, Saint Josephs Reservoir, and the San Salvador Reservoir. These features, alongside numerous livestock tanks like Bog Tank and Moon Tank, illustrate the persistent infrastructure required to support ranching and resource management in this arid terrain.

Local landmarks such as O D Ridge and Pat Knoll provide navigational anchors amidst a web of forest roads, including Fire RD 88 and Co RD 2108. The map documents localized industrial footprints through features like Udall Pit and Rudd Knoll Pit Number Three, which sit alongside historic naming conventions at Rosebud and Boneyard. For those tracing local land use or geographic history, the distribution of springs like Saint Marys Lake Spring and Miller Spring reveals the vital hydrology of the Apache County highlands.
