1978 Map of Velasquez Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Fort Apache Indian Reservation and the San Carlos Indian Reservation meet along the dramatic river breaks of eastern Arizona in this 1970s land study. The terrain is defined by the massive Seven Mile Rim and the northern edge of the Natanes Plateau, where the White River and Black River converge. This survey, revised by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, highlights a landscape of high-country ranching and water management, dotted with numerous stock tanks such as Velasquez Tank and Priebe Creek Tank. Named landmarks like Navajo Bill Spring and Velasquez Butte reflect the cultural and topographical history of Gila County. The intricate drainage systems of Nash Creek and Indian Creek weave through deep canyons, including White Cow Canyon, illustrating the complex watershed of this upland region before modern development altered its character.
