1964 Map of Stewart Mtn.

About this map

Saguaro Lake and the Salt River dominate this desert landscape, revealing the critical infrastructure of the mid-century Salt River Project. The Stewart Dam and its adjacent Stewart Dam Powerhouse stand as the focal point of the area's water management and hydroelectric development. Within the Tonto National Forest, the map details early recreational and administrative sites including the Blue Point Ranger Sta, the Blue Point Forest Camp, and the historic crossing at Sheep Bridge. This period shows a rugged terrain marked by the Goldfield Mountains and the unique geomorphology of The Rolls, networked by the Bush Highway and numerous named canyons. The presence of the Gaging Station and various picnic areas highlights the dual role of the river as both a utility and a destination for early 1960s Arizona travelers.
