About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Dam stands as the central engineering landmark of this Gila County landscape, holding back the waters of Theodore Roosevelt Lake. The surrounding area shows the infrastructure required to manage this vital water resource, including Salt River Project Housing and the Tonto Basin Ranger District Office. Small settlements and seasonal hubs like Roosevelt and the Roosevelt Marina provide access to the lake's northern shores, while the southern reaches of the map follow the Salt River downstream toward Apache Lake.

The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Peters Mountain and Sweetheart Peak to the canyon floor. Local geography is intricately named, featuring landmarks like Government Hill and Inspiration Point. For those interested in the hydrology of the Salt River Valley, the map identifies numerous specific water sources including Tuakay Hot Springs, Wildcat Seep, and Buckhorn Spring.
