About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Dam stands as the central engineering landmark of this desert landscape, where the Salt River is impounded to form the expansive Theodore Roosevelt Lake. This modern topographic survey reveals a terrain defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Mills Canyon and Vineyard Canyon to high points like Sweetheart Peak and Peters Mtn. The settlement of Roosevelt sits near the dam's southern reaches, while the historic Apache Trl winds along the river valley.

Outdoor and historical interest is concentrated around the Tonto National Monument and the various springs and tanks scattered through the Tonto National Forest. Water features such as Tuakay Hot Springs and Cholla Bay Area illustrate the intersection of recreation and geography. The inclusion of the Arizona National Scenic Trl provides a modern path through the rugged basins and ridges, including Two Bar Ridge and Buckhorn Basin, showing how the land is managed for both utility and conservation.
