1966 Map of Sevenmile Mts.

About this map

The San Carlos Indian Reservation meets the Tonto National Forest in this mid-1960s survey of high desert and upland terrain. The Seven Mile Mountains dominate the central landscape, a region defined by its critical water resources for cattle ranching. Scattered wells and tanks, such as Coffee Pot Well, Bean Belly Well, and Sevenmile Tank, highlight the infrastructure of this working landscape. The presence of Sevenmile Camp and the small settlement of Corral near the Sevenmile Wash suggest seasonal or logistical hubs for land management. To the east, Sycamore Creek and Gerald Spring provide further evidence of the hydrological network necessary to sustain life in this remote part of Gila County. The map captures the area as it functioned before modern development, emphasizing trails and isolated water points over paved infrastructure.
