About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Lake (Salt River) dominates this central Arizona landscape, its waters reaching into the rugged canyons of the Tonto National Forest. The map documents the shoreline and recreation points as they appeared in the early 1960s, specifically noting the spillway elevation and water levels from September 1962. Landforms such as Windy Hill, Steamboat Rock, and Windy Point create a complex topography along the reservoir's edge.

South of the water, the Tonto National Monument preserves ancient heritage sites within Cholla Canyon and Deadman Canyon. The historic Apache Trail and A-Cross Road provide the primary access through this arid terrain, linking isolated water sources like Grapevine Spring and Dagger Springs. Features such as Honey Butte and Roundup Hill serve as distinct landmarks for those tracing the development of this protected wilderness area.
