1977 Map of Sponseller Mtn.

About this map

Sponseller Mtn and Ziegler Mtn anchor the northern reaches of this high-elevation landscape within the Sitgreaves National Forest. The 1977 terrain is defined by a complex network of water sources, from Sponseller Lake and Hidden Lake to numerous livestock tanks such as Penrod Tank and Marshall Tank. The boundary between Navajo and Apache Counties bisects the map, showing the division of administrative jurisdictions across these forested uplands. In the southern portion, the map transitions into the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, where features like Los Burros and Danstone Springs appear alongside Lake Mountain. The presence of the Mc Nary Vernon Road and various fire roads and jeep trails suggests a landscape managed for both timber and ranching, evidenced by the scattered springs and a Cinder Pit near the reservation border.
