About this map

Old Owen McMillenville stands as a point of historical interest in this 1990s survey of the high desert and canyon lands of Gila County. The map details the convergence of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and San Carlos Indian Reservation, separated by the dramatic descent of the Salt River and its deep canyon. The settlement patterns reflect the isolation of the high plateaus, with small communities like Seneca and Cibecue connected by a network of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through the labeling of the Horse Camp Mine and Bear Canyon Mine, alongside significant wilderness designations. Massive geological features dominate the landscape, from the Sierra Ancha in the west to the Natanes Plateau and Sevenmile Rim in the southeast. This survey provides a clear view of the hydraulic systems that define the region, tracing the Cibecue Creek and Canyon Creek through the rugged complex of buttes and mesas.
