About this map

Christmas serves as the focal point of this arid Gila County landscape, situated near the western bank of the winding Gila River. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Lee Mountain and Corral Mountain to the sunken depths of Porphyry Gulch and O'Carroll Canyon. The drainage pattern is complex, with Deer Creek, Rock Creek, and Ash Creek cutting through the terrain toward the river valley.

Local land use is evidenced by the presence of Young Ranch and Reese Ranch, both located near the transition into Dripping Springs Valley. To the southeast, the geography levels out into the distinctive plateau of The Tablelands. This 2011 survey documents the modern road network, including Piper Springs Rd and E Roundup Dr, providing a precise record of how these remote ranching and mining-adjacent areas were structured at the beginning of the 21st century.
