About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Greenlee County, characterized by a complex network of canyons and mesas. The settlement of Beaverhead serves as a focal point near the Beaverhead Natural Lake, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Devils Washboard, Castle Rock, and the prominent Horse Ridge. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by numerous livestock or storage tanks including Hannagan Tank, Duck-Corral Tank, and Snag Tank.

Drainage systems like Campbell Blue Cr and Foote Creek carve through the topography, leading toward significant elevations like Fishhook Mesa and Foote Creek Mesa. Resource extraction and land use are noted through the presence of the Hannagan Gravel Pit and the Gravel Pit Tank. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness infrastructure and natural landmarks utilized by Forest Service and local interests in the early 21st century.
