About this map

Armer Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Gila County are defined by a network of seasonal water sources and steep drainage systems in this 2011 survey. The landscape is marked by prominent landforms such as Dutchwoman Butte, Hopkins Mountain, and Tanner Peak, which rise above deeply carved features like Boyer Canyon and Connor Canyon. Evidence of human activity and cattle ranching in this arid environment is visible through the presence of Boyer Cabin and numerous dispersed water catchments, including Dust Bowl Tank, Whiskey Tank, and Center Ridge Tank.

The central drainage of Salome Creek winds through the quadrangle, passing the distinctive formation known as The Jug. Higher elevations are characterized by landmarks like Boyer Ridge and Thompson Mesa, while water availability is noted at several isolated locations such as Hale Spring and Tin House Spring. Access to this back country is provided by forest roads like NF-285 and NF-262, which navigate the complex topography of the Tonto National Forest area.
