Apache and San Carlos Apache Indian ,Reservations Arizona January 21, 1966 February 3, 1966 Initial Report Black and Salt Rivers Ft. Apache and San Carlos Apache Indian Reservations Arizona Introduction During the past several years, the Bureau of Sport'Fisheries'and Wildlife, in cooperation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has-intensified its fishery managementi assistance to the Ft. Apache and San Carlos Indian Reservations. During this period many reports summarizing fishery management activities have been submitted. None, however, has dealt with the important Black and Salt Rivers or their fishery potential. This report summarizes the- results of preliminary fishery investigations on the Salt and Black Rivers, including fishery potentials, and Is directed to the Tribal organization and•agencies of the San Carlos and Ft.-Apache Indian Reservations. The Black and Salt Rivers of Arizona flow through some of the most- spectacular canyons of the Southwest. The Salt River Canyon crossing at Highway 60 is often referred to as.the second-Grand Canyon of Arizona, with vividly colored canyon walls rising vertically more than 3,000. feet. The Black River follows a major - - - rift through basalt rock that is often narrow and exceeds 26000 feet in depth in many places. Canyons, alternately widening and boxing, extending from alpine to upper sonorian life zones, are characteristic of the study area Stands of virgin . spruce and ponderosa pine lend beauty to the.

The rapids are exciting and complex. T They should be run only by experienced boatmen or, at low water, under the guidance of a professional. The big-water rafting season is short, generally from early March to late April. Recently, however, commercial trips have begun running this stretch in small inflatables at low levels. Using this technique they have managed to extend the season. This stretch of the river flows through upper Sonoran Desert habitat with Indian land on one side and Forest Service land on the other.

  • A Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model for Fossil Springs, Western
    A CONCEPTUAL HYDROGEOLOGIC MODEL FOR FOSSIL SPRINGS, WESTERN MOGOLLON RIM, ARIZONA: IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL SPRINGS PROCESSES By L. Megan Green A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology Northern Arizona University May 2008 Approved: _________________________________ Abraham E. Springer, Ph.D., Chair _________________________________ Roderic A. Parnell, Jr., Ph.D. _________________________________ Paul J. Umhoefer, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A CONCEPTUAL HYDROGEOLOGIC MODEL FOR FOSSIL SPRINGS, WEST MOGOLLON MESA, ARIZONA: IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL SPRINGS PROCESSES L. Megan Green Fossil Springs is the largest spring system discharging along the western Mogollon Rim in central Arizona and is a rare and important resource to the region. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the source of groundwater discharging at Fossil Springs. This was accomplished by (1) constructing a 3-D digital hydrogeologic framework model from available data to depict the subsurface geology of the western Mogollon Rim region and (2) by compiling and interpreting regional structural and geophysical data for Arizona’s central Transition Zone. EarthVision, a 3-D GIS modeling software, was used to construct the framework model. Two end-member models were created; the first was a simple interpolation of the data and the second was a result of geologic interpretations. The second model shows a monocline trending along the Diamond Rim fault. Both models show Fossil Springs discharging at the intersection of the Diamond Rim fault and Fossil Springs fault, at the contact between the Redwall Limestone and Naco Formation. The second objective of this study was a compilation of regional data for Arizona’s central Transition Zone.

I commend the Tribe, the State, and the other Arizona Tribes for engaging in good-faith negotiations to arrive at the 2021 Compact. In connection with the 2021 Compact, the State of Arizona enacted the 2021 Gaming Act. 1 The 2021 Compact and the 2021 Gaming Act complement each other by addressing the collective and individual interests of the Tribes and the State. The 2021 Gaming Act authorized the Arizona Lottery to operate on a limited and restricted basis electronic keno and a mobile draw game, fantasysports contests, and authorized event wagering, with a significantopportunity for Tribes to participate in and benefitfrom off­ reservation event wagering. The 2021 Compact The 2021 Compact builds on the successes of the Tribe's existing compact that was approved by the Department in 2003 (2003 Compact) and addresses changes in gaming law and technology.

  • Eagle Creek, Arizona
    Trip Report: Eagle Creek, Arizona 15-17 June 2009 Participants: Abraham Karam, Brian Kesner, and Mike Childs Native Fish Lab Marsh & Associates, LLC 5016 South Ash Avenue Suite 108 Tempe, Arizona 85282 Summary Fish surveys were conducted on portions of Eagle Creek, Greenlee County, Arizona, during 15-17 June 2009 to determine species composition, distribution, and relative abundance. Survey methods included backpack electroshocking, seining, dip netting, gill netting, and hook and line. A total of 1,315 individuals were contacted, representing five native and eight non-native species. With the exception of one desert sucker which was captured downstream of the Freeport-McMoRan water diversion dam, non-native fishes were contacted exclusively at all downstream sites, while native species predominated sites upstream of the dam. Methods Surveys were conducted at eight localities on Eagle Creek between Honeymoon (HM; elev. = 1,650 m) in the upper portion of the watershed, and Bat Cave (elev. = 1,036 m), approximately 12 km upstream from Eagle Creek’s confluence with the Gila River (Fig. 1). Survey locations included HM (12S 641111, 3704989), 1st Crossing below HM (12S 640444, 3701320), 2nd Crossing below HM (12S 640636, 3697789), Sheep Wash (12S 640707, 3686663), Above Freeport McMoRan (FM) Dam (12S 643380, 3661181), Below FM Dam (12S 645252, 3659588), Graves (12S 646449, 3656592), and Bat Cave (12S 647611, 3655046). Surveys were conducted using a Smith-Root backpack shocker (SR 12-B), seines (1.2 x 1.2 and 3.7 x 1.2 m; 3 mm mesh), dip nets, experimental gill nets (38.1 x 1.8 m; square mesh size ranged from 13 to 51 mm), and hook and line.

  • Geologic Report of the Stewart Mountain
    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE STEWART MOUNTAIN QUADRANGLE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZO~A by Steven J. Skotnicki and Robert S. Leighty Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-12 July, 1997 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Includes 19 page text and 1:24,000 scale geologic map Partially funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program Contract # 1434-HQ-96-AG-01474. This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION This map depicts both the bedrock geology and the general ages and distribution of Late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits and geomorphic surfaces in the Stewart Mountain quadrangle (see Figure 1). The Salt River, re-emerging from Saguaro Lake, slices through the middle of the study area where it separates granite pediment and felsic volcanic rocks of the Usery and Goldfield Mountains (respectively) to the south, from a vast expanse of Late Tertiary basin-fill sediments to the north. Mapping of the surficial deposits was based both on field observations and interpretation of color 1:30,000-scale aerial photographs (dated 6-12-88), obtained from the Tonto National Forest in Phoenix. All of the region is administered by the Tonto National Forest. Good access to the region is provided by State Route 87, the Bush Highway, and Usery Pass Road (see Figure 2). A primitive road provides access to Bulldog Canyon, but locked gates at both ends can only be opened by obtaining a pennit from the Tonto National Forest Service field office in Mesa.
