1966 Map of Sontag Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The high, ridged landscapes of the San Carlos Indian Reservation dominate this mid-1960s survey, revealing a territory defined by remote water sources and cattle-rearing infrastructure. The northern portion of the quadrangle is punctuated by essential ranching landmarks such as Gimme Tank, Walker Park Tank, and the high point at Dads Lookout. The terrain is deeply incised by Sontag Creek and Bear Canyon, where a localized industrial presence is marked by the Bear Canyon Mine and a nearby Borrow Pit. The southern flats contrast sharply with the northern ridges, featuring a dedicated Landing Strip and the expansive Blue River Pasture. This map illustrates how high-altitude springs, including Sontag Spring and Cienega Spring, served as the lifelines for both natural ecosystems and the managed grazing lands of Gila County during this era.
