About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Dam anchors this study of the central Arizona desert where the Salt River meets the expansive Theodore Roosevelt Lake. The landscape is defined by the sharp boundary between Gila Co and Maricopa Co, cutting through high-relief terrain like Vineyard Mtn and Government Hill. Significant cultural and natural preservation areas are evident, with the Tonto National Monument and Tonto National Forest protecting the archaeological and environmental integrity of the region.

Transport and recreation routes trace the contours of the Salt River canyon, including the historic Apache Trl and the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Water remains the central theme of the area, from the reservoir's Cholla Bay Area to isolated water sources like Tuakay Hot Springs, Buckhorn Spring, and Thompson Spring. These features, alongside the Salt River Valley and Squaw Flat, illustrate the vital role of water management and land conservation in this arid environment.
