About this map

The San Carlos River flows southward through this Gila County landscape, providing a geographical anchor for the communities of San Carlos and Peridot. The map documents a structured network of local infrastructure, including the San Carlos Post Office, the San Carlos Airport, and the Peridot Post Office along the main transit corridors of Indian Rte 10 and Indian Rte 3. These settlements are framed by prominent landforms such as Peridot Mesa and Antelope Flats, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous washes like Gilson Wash and Triplet Wash.

Water management is a central theme of the area's development, evidenced by the high density of named stock tanks and springs scattered across the landscape. Features such as Sawmill Tank Number One, Hollywood Bowl Tank, and Hackberry Spring suggest a reliance on these collected water sources for ranching or local industry. The grid of roads, from Mohave Ave to the more distant Old Ash Creek Rd, illustrates the intersection of modern regional travel with the established tribal lands.
