1964 Map of Theodore Roosevelt Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The massive Theodore Roosevelt Dam stands at the confluence of the Salt River and Tonto Creek, anchoring a landscape shaped by early 20th-century water engineering. By the mid-1960s, the resulting reservoir, Theodore Roosevelt Lake, reached up toward Henderson Mesa, its fluctuating shoreline creating features like Rabbit Island and Haystack Island. The settlement of Roosevelt serves as a small hub for the surrounding Tonto National Forest, while the winding Apache Trail provides access to the steep terrain of Two Bar Ridge and the Tonto National Monument in the southeast. This survey captures a moment when the region's ranching and mining past, evidenced by Mills and Buckhorn Spring, transitioned into a destination for recreation at sites like the Burnt Corral Campground. The map clearly delineates the Maricopa and Gila County boundary as it bisects the northern reaches of Apache Lake.
