2011 Map of Cibecue Peak

About this map

Cibecue Peak stands as the primary landmark in this drainage-rich portion of Gila County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Cibecue Creek and its many tributaries. The area is characterized by an extensive system of canyons and natural water sources, including Indian Canyon, Cibecue Canyon, and Fox Canyon. These features indicate a terrain where water management is historically critical, evidenced by numerous named springs and tanks like Wool Cutter Spring, Cat Claw Spring, and Turkey Roost Tank. Transportation through the area is limited to rugged corridors such as Cibecue Rd and Indian Rte 12, which follow the natural contours of the land. The distribution of features like Blue Fox Tank and Jackrabbit Tank suggests a landscape utilized for livestock or wildlife management within the canyon systems.
