Show 93 Although situated in the Verde Valley, its topography is that of arid desert country. It is inhabited by the Yavapai-Apache tribe, the 1957 population of which approximated 650. Tribal economy is based on agriculture and some wage earning.02 The Verde River is the primary source of irrigation water supply. Two ditches conduct water to various turnouts which discharge water into a system of laterals.98 (j) Fort Apache Reservation. Situated in east central Arizona north of the Salt River, this Reservation contains 1,660,000 acres of land. Its eastern portion is a heavily timbered area of high elevations and both the eastern and northern portions enjoy a temperate climate and good rainfall. The Salt River portion is desert and the climate is arid. The Reservation is inhabited by the White Mountain-Apache tribe, the 1957 population of which was approximately 4,000. This Indian economy is diversified: it includes timber operations, stock raising and subsistence agriculture.84 Several ditches and headings divert irrigation water from the North Fork of the White River and from Diamond Creek. Some portions of the Reservation receive North Fork water which is pumped by a pumping plant located on the west bank of the River. The White Mountain section of the Reservation obtains irrigation water through a series of ditches taking out of the East Fork of the White River.95 Despite objections by the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association and a lawsuit pending at the time of the hearings in this case, a dam has recently been constructed within 82Tr. 14647-14648 (Haverland).
