Show 91 (e) Ak Chin-Maricopa Reservation. This Reservation is located in Arizona at the southwest corner of the Gila River Reservation and contains approximately 21,000 acres of land. In 1957, it was inhabited by some 140 members of the Ak Chin-Maricopa tribe whose economy is primarily based on agriculture and wage earning.84 Portions of the Reservation are irrigated by well water distributed through laterals. Other portions are irrigated, in part at least, from surface water which is partially derived from desert runoff and surplus water from irrigation on non-Indian lands.85 (f) San Carlos Reservation. The 1,600,000 acres of this Reservation lie in eastern Arizona between the Gila and Salt Rivers. Its eastern portion is quite mountainous, its northern portion also has relatively high elevations and its southern portion is low elevation desert land. Climate is hot and arid. The inhabitants are of the San Carlos-Apache tribe whose population in 1957 was approximately 4,500. Their economy consists of stock raising, agriculture and wage earning.86 Irrigation water for these Indian lands is primarily obtained from wells which discharge into a distribution system of laterals and pipelines. Two ditches with headings at the San Carlos River provide some surface water.87 (g) Salt River Reservation. The Salt River Reservation is located in Arizona about 10 miles east of the City of Phoenix on both sides of the Salt River. Its area is approximately 47,000 acres and topography and climate are typical of the Salt River Valley. It is inhabited by members of the Pima and Maricopa Indian tribes.
