About this map

The high Mogollon Plateau is deeply incised by the drainage network of Chevelon Cr and its tributaries within the Sitgreaves National Forest. This landscape is defined by its canyon systems, notably West Chevelon Canyon and Elk Rub Canyon, which carve through the plateau. Historically significant travel routes are preserved in labels like the Heber Mormon Crossing and the Durfee Crossing Trl, reflecting the early corridors used to navigate this complex terrain.

Water management on the plateau is evident through numerous named catchments such as Standard Tank, Wagon Draw Tank, and Durfee Tank. The presence of the Long Draw Ohv Loop Trl and various connector trails highlights the modern recreational usage of the forest. The map detail centers on Chevelon Crossing, a key point of transit where the rugged topography of Alder Canyon and Pueblo Draw meets the primary waterway.
