1967 Map of Whiteriver

About this map

Whiteriver serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence where the North Fork White River meets the East Fork White River. The landscape is defined by the extensive boundaries of the Fort Apache Military Reservation, which encompasses a complex network of administrative and educational facilities. Significant local institutions include the Theodore Roosevelt Indian Sch and the East Fork Mission, reflecting the area's institutional history. To the south, the settlement of Fort Apache is clearly delineated alongside its Military Cem. The geography transitions from the river valleys to the prominent Sevenmile Rim and Big A Mountain, with numerous water tanks like Upper Sevenmile Tank and Lime Spring Tank supporting the region's ranching or wildlife needs. This map provides a clear record of the indigenous community and federal presence in the White Mountains before subsequent decades of development.
