About this map

McMillianville sits along US Hwy 60 at the heart of this high-elevation terrain within the Tonto National Forest. The landscape is defined by its numerous springs and drainage systems, such as Sevenmile Wash and Nugget Wash, which reveal the critical importance of water management in this arid region. High points like Apache Peaks and Richmond Mtn provide significant relief, while isolated features such as Chrome Butte and Chalky Butte serve as distinct navigational markers across the territory.

Local history and ranching activity are evident in the naming of livestock-related water features like Butte Tank and Saint John Tank. The network of canyons, including Storm Canyon and Yankee Joe Canyon, illustrates a complex topography that has historically shaped travel and land use in Gila County. This map documents the distribution of reliable water sources, from Coburn Spring to the Right Fork Honeysuckle Spring, essential for any historical survey of the area.
