2014 Map of Whiteriver

About this map

Whiteriver and its surrounding communities sit at the confluence of the North Fork White River and E Fork White River, serving as a central hub for the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The landscape is defined by dramatic geological features such as Nan Dahs Taan Mesa and the prominent Big A Mountain, with the settlement pattern following the river valleys and primary routes like Az-73. The map documents numerous tribal and community landmarks, including Whiteriver Cem, Sevenmile Cem, and the historic Fort Apache site. Further south, the terrain transitions into the high country of the Sevenmile Rim. This area’s infrastructure is geared toward local administration and residency, evidenced by the clustered residential streets of Rainbow City and the presence of the Whiteriver Airport. Numerous water management features like Agency Tank and Fort Apache Tank indicate the vital importance of water resources in this high-desert environment.
