Reservation boundaries, along with those of some other reservations
in Arizona and New Mexico.
The Fort Apache Indian Reservation is an Indian
reservation in Arizona,
United States,
encompassing parts of Navajo, Gila,
and Apache counties. It is home to
the White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache
Reservation, a Western Apache tribe. It has a land area
of 6,805.474 km² (2,627.608 sq mi) and a population of 12,429
people as of the 2000
census. The largest community is Whiteriver.
The Fort Apache Indian Reservation is covered mostly by pine
forests and is home to forest wildlife. It is located directly
south of the Mogollon
Rim. The highest point in the reservation is Baldy
Peak, which stands at 11,403 feet.
The tribe operates the Sunrise ski resort and the Hon Dah Resort Casino. Other attractions within
the reservation include the Fort Apache Historic Park, Kinishba Ruins,
the Apache Cultural Center & Museum, and other historic
sites.
The demographics of Fort Apache Indian Reservation are similar
to that of the San Carlos Apache
Indian Reservation, which is directly to the south. Like San
Carlos, the median household income is around $14,000, and more
than half the population lives under the poverty line.
