About this map

The East Fork Black River carves a deep path through this high-country landscape, serving as the central artery for a network of forest camps and water sources. Buffalo Crossing and Three Forks emerge as primary landmarks where these watercourses converge, anchoring a region defined by its reliance on developed water tanks such as Triangle Tank and Last Chance Tank. The distribution of these features, alongside remote sites like Cienega Redondo Camp, reflects a landscape managed for seasonal grazing and forestry.

Evidence of early 21st-century conservation and recreation is clear in the numerous established sites such as Diamond Rock Forest Camp and Aspen Campground. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Middle Mountain to the wetlands of Loggers Bog and Dry Lake. For researchers of the White Mountains region, this map provides precise locations for isolated springs like Skull Spring and named landmarks like Brentwood, which are critical for tracing local history and land-use patterns in this part of Arizona.
