About this map

Old Waterman Place serves as a lone historical marker of habitation in this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest area. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Bearwallow Creek, Copper Creek, and Mineral Creek carve through the high country. Strategic fire management and observation points are central to the region, anchored by the Bearwallow Lookout atop Bearwallow Mountain.

Water sources are vital to this environment, appearing as isolated tanks and cienegas such as Bill Lewis Cienega and Turkey Cienega. The map traces a network of specialized routes, including the Bearwallow Lookout Rd and Bearwallow Fire Rd, which navigate between prominent summits like Corner Mountain and Cooney Peak. These features suggest a landscape primarily utilized for forest service, livestock management at sites like Bull Pasture Tank, and seasonal backcountry access.
