1964 Map of Stewart Mtn.

About this map

Stewart Mtn Dam and the impounded waters of Saguaro Lake dominate this mid-century look at the lower Salt River corridor. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the water's edge to the Goldfield Mountains and the complex drainage of Bulldog Canyon. This area of the Tonto National Forest serves as a critical infrastructure and recreation hub, shown here before modern expansions altered the shoreline access. Local landmarks like Sheep Bridge and the Blue Point Ranger Sta provide specific points of interest for those studying the development of the region's park and water management systems. The map also captures several isolated peaks such as Lone Mtn and Dome Mtn, which stood as navigational waypoints for early travelers navigating the Bush Highway through the desert.
