About this map

The settlement of Alpine serves as the primary hub in this high-altitude corner of the Apache National Forest, situated where the San Francisco River meets Judd Lake. In the late 20th century, this area maintained its character as a mountain community defined by its proximity to the wilderness and traditional land uses, including the Rodeo Ground and a Ranger Station on the town's edge. The surrounding terrain is a complex of significant peaks and drainages, notably South Mountain and Tenney Mountain, which feed numerous waterways like Coyote Creek and Turkey Creek.

Remote outposts and family-named landmarks such as Campbell Flat and Milk Ranch Spring indicate a history of ranching and resource management within the forest. Industrial activity is minimal, represented by a scattered Gravel Pit, while the southern portion of the map traces the rugged divide between Apache and Greenlee counties. The map effectively documents the transition from the relatively level Williams Valley into the steep canyons of Crow Poison Canyon and Prime Canyon Creek.
