About this map

Cassadore Spring and the small settlements of Sawmill and Bear Canyon Junction anchor this high-elevation landscape in Gila County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of water management features, including numerous tanks and springs such as Wild Bee Spring, Keam Spring, and Rose Garden Tank. These water sources, vital for land use in this arid region, are distributed across significant elevation changes, from the heights of Indian Lookout down to Sontag Mesa.

Land use patterns are further illustrated by several designated livestock or game traps, including Geronimo Trap, Wild Beef Trap, and Big Cedar Trap. The area is accessible via rugged backroads like Hilltop-Highway 60 Rd and Bear Canyon-Warm Springs Rd, which connect the scattered canyon and pasture lands. Notable drainage systems like Sawmill Cr and Cassadore Cr carve through the geography, highlighting the importance of seasonal water flow to the local ecology and ranching history.
