About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Lake dominates this central Arizona landscape, its intricate shoreline forming numerous coves and islands such as Salome Cove and Saddle Island. The map documents a blend of ancient heritage and modern recreation, featuring the Tonto Cliff Dwellings tucked into the southern canyons alongside the developed facilities of Grapevine and the Windy Hill Boat Ramp. This area of the Tonto National Forest is defined by its water management infrastructure and recreational hubs like the Grapevine Group Site.

Land use patterns north of the reservoir transition into cattle ranching and rugged drainages. Remote outposts like Hat Ranch and Jack Shoe Ranch sit among a network of desert washes including Dagger Wash and Cottonwood Wash. The elevation rises toward Bull Mountain, while seasonal water sources such as Tin Tank and Dagger Springs provide vital points of interest for those studying the agricultural and natural history of Gila County.
