About this map

Bucket Mountain and Hog Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in Gila County, where the topography is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. The map reveals a network of canyons and washes, including C K Canyon and the seasonal path of Gilson Wash to the northeast. Transportation through this arid terrain relies on historic corridors like Us-70 and Az-170, alongside more localized routes like Skull Center Rd.

Water management is central to the human footprint here, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks and springs scattered across the quadrangle. From the high Dripping Springs to the Hog Mountain Tanks and Bridge Washer Tank, these features indicate the area's ongoing importance for livestock and land management. The presence of Soda Canyon in the southwest corner further illustrates the deeply carved character of this section of the Arizona interior.
