2014 Map of Armer Mountain

About this map

Sierra Ancha dominates the landscape of the Tonto National Forest in Gila County, where complex drainage systems and high peaks define the terrain. The map records a sophisticated network of water management features essential for this environment, including Upper Thompson Mesa Tank and Butte Tank, alongside natural sources like Tin House Spring and Hale Spring. Notable landmarks such as The Jug along Salome Cr highlight the erosional geology of the area. This 2014 survey serves as a record of the high desert and mountain interface, where cattle tanks and springs are the primary markers of human activity and land use. From the heights of Armer Mountain and Tanner Peak to the depths of Boyer Canyon, the topography is intricately mapped with forest service routes like NF 262 providing the few points of modern access.
