2021 Map of Adams Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Tonto National Forest defines this high-desert landscape in northeastern Maricopa County, characterized by a series of prominent mesas and volcanic landforms. The topography is anchored by the namesake Adams Mesa in the south, while Sugarloaf Mtn and Sheep Mesa dominate the central terrain. This area serves as a critical watershed, where seasonal water sources like Aqua Chiquita Spring and Mesquite Spring provide life in an arid environment. Drainage patterns are clearly defined by Sycamore Cr and Mesquite Wash, which cut through deep relief such as Malpais Canyon. For the researcher, the map details a network of cattle tanks including Hughes Tank and Black Mesa Tanks, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and ranching infrastructure within the protected forest boundaries.
