About this map

Sunflower serves as the primary landmark in this high-elevation landscape within the Tonto National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of steep canyons and prominent peaks, including Mazatzal Mountain and Cypress Peak, that bridge the border between Maricopa and Gila counties. This modern topographic study reveals a complex network of springs and drainage systems, such as Sycamore Cr and Boulder Cr, which have historically dictated movement through the high country.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the winding path of the Arizona National Scenic Trl, which navigates through geologic features like Rincon Pass and Boulder Pass. For those studying the region's recreational and natural history, the map provides precise locations for numerous water sources like Mud Springs and Bear Spring, alongside established routes such as the Ballantine Trl that wind through Ballantine Canyon.
