About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Greenlee County, characterized by a complex network of drainage basins and high-elevation landmarks. The settlement of Beaverhead sits at the junction of several watercourses, including Beaver Creek and Hannagan Creek, serving as a focal point for the region's limited human footprint. The topography is defined by significant features such as Middle Mountain and the uniquely named Devils Washboard, reflecting a landscape sculpted by deep canyons and prominent ridges.

Evidence of local utility and transport is visible through the presence of a trans line, a Gaging Station, and numerous pack trails navigating the terrain. High points like Castle Rock, Burke Point, and Sissy Point provide distinct geographic anchors, while the Red Hills and Deer Mountain mark the eastern reaches of the survey. The area's land use is further indicated by scattered improvements like a Corral and a Gravel Pit, pointing to the management of this forested expanse in the early 1990s.
