2004 Map of Theodore Roosevelt Dam

About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Dam stands as the engineering centerpiece of this central Arizona landscape, where the confluence of Tonto Creek and Salt River is managed for water storage. The 2004 revision reveals the extensive infrastructure supporting the region's dual identity as a critical utility hub and a primary recreation destination. The settlement of Roosevelt serves as a localized center, flanked by the Tonto Basin Ranger Station and a Sheriff's Substation. Significant portions of the territory are designated as protected lands, including the Tonto National Forest and the Three Bar State Wildlife Area. Geographers can trace the path of the Arizona Trail as it winds through the high ground of Vineyard Mountain and past Inspiration Point. Shoreline features like Bermuda Flat, Cholla Bay, and Roosevelt Marina illustrate the development of Roosevelt Lake for public use, while downstream, the waters of Apache Lake begin to form behind the spillway.
