2018 Map of Boulder Mountain

About this map

Sunflower serves as a key landmark in this high-desert landscape, situated along the upper reaches of Sycamore Cr within the Tonto National Forest. The 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by steep canyons and named summits, where the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern ridges, passing near Mazatzal Mountain and Cypress Peak. The map highlights a network of water sources essential to this arid environment, including Cypress Spring, Juniper Spring, and Sunflower Spring. To the south, prominent geological features like The Boulders and Ballantine Canyon dominate the topography. The boundary between Gila and Maricopa counties cuts across the northeastern corner, near the high plateau of Edwards Park. This area maintains a primarily wilderness character, with isolated locations such as Little Pine Flat and Round Valley connected by rugged forest roads like E fr22.
