About this map

The San Francisco Mountains dominate this high-altitude terrain within the Gila National Forest, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high summits. Cattle ranching and backcountry survival are evident in the landscape's nomenclature, with features like Heifer Basin, Bull Basin, and the Leggett Pasture Tank. Numerous water sources, essential for both livestock and early inhabitants, are scattered throughout the region, including Nutt Spring, Flying V Spring, and the high-elevation Dave Lee Lake.

Peaks such as Joe Green Peak, Maverick Peak, and Black Bull Peak provide significant landmarks for navigation across the dissected topography. The presence of Pine Lawn Camp and various pack trails suggests a landscape utilized for both forest management and outdoor recreation during the mid-1960s. The southeastern corner is traversed by Highway 180, providing the primary corridor through these remote uplands.
