About this map

The high canyons and springs of the Apache National Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Greenlee and Graham counties. The northern portion is defined by the Bear Wallow Wilderness, where steep drainage networks like Bear Creek and Wallow Creek converge. This area reflects a wilderness management era focused on preserving the primitive character of the high country, while the southern reaches show the infrastructure of ranching and forestry. Scattered throughout are essential water sources such as Horse Pasture Spring, Turkey Spring, and Miller Spring, alongside stock management features like McBride Corral and Warren Tank. The western edge of the sheet is marked by the San Carlos Indian Reservation Boundary, cutting through the deep topography of Ariz Canyon and Helen Canyon. Landmarks like the Lookout Tower and Saulsbers Cabin provide evidence of human activity in this otherwise high-altitude backcountry.
