About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this high-altitude landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and peaks. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by named sites like Pearson Springs, Wilson Spring, and Hells Hole Tank. The map reveals a complex system of canyons, including Cherokee Canyon and Moonhull Canyon, which cut through the high country.

Strategic elevations such as Brushy Mountain, Tampico Peak, and Elephant Back Mtn provide the primary orientation points for the area. The only named settlement-related feature, Ash Creek Box, sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Smith Mtn. This data, gathered by the U.S. Geological Survey, details the intricate topography of the Burro Mountains region as it stood in the early twenty-first century, highlighting the importance of springs and tanks for both wildlife and land management.
