1966 Map of San Carlos

About this map

San Carlos serves as a central hub within the San Carlos Indian Reservation in the mid-1960s, situated at the confluence of the San Carlos River and Sevenmile Wash. The settlement pattern reflects the administrative and community infrastructure of the era, featuring the Indian Agency, a Hospital, and a Substation along the Southern Pacific railroad line. This corridor follows the river valley southward through Peridot, where the landscape transitions toward the striking topography of Peridot Mesa.
