About this map

Christmas and the Dripping Springs area define the human landscape of this 2014 survey along the Gila River. The topography is dominated by the steep ascent of the Dripping Spring Mountains and Lee Mtn, with the winding course of Az-77 providing the primary corridor through the high desert. Historically significant for its namesake mine, the region is marked by industrial access points like Christmas Mine Rd leading into the rugged interior of Copper Canyon.

Drainage systems such as Porphyry Gulch, Little Ash Cr, and Little Gold Gulch carve through the sedimentary layers, eventually meeting the river valley. Notable terrain features including The Tablelands and Corral Mtn provide clear landmarks for researchers tracing the boundaries of Gila and Pinal Counties. This map offers a high-resolution view of the local infrastructure and natural springs like Cottonwood Spring and Apache Spring as they appeared in the early 21st century.
