About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in eastern Arizona, characterized by a complex network of water management features and family-named landmarks. The terrain is marked by numerous man-made tanks and reservoirs, including San Salvador Reservoir, Saint Josephs Reservoir, and Russell Reservoir, which support the region's ranching or forestry activities. Named volcanic or geological features like Rudd Knoll and Pat Knoll rise above the drainage systems of Rudd Cr and Benton Cr.

Local navigation and history are tied to specific clearings and passages such as Crosby Crossing and the open stretch of Williams Valley. The map shows a transition from the higher elevations of O D Ridge down into the depressions of Pat Sink and Red Hole Draw. The presence of numerous developed springs, including Upper Springs and Seven Springs, highlights the critical importance of water sources in this part of Apache County during the early 21st century.
