2021 Map of Cone Butte

About this map

Cone Butte and Blue Rock Butte anchor this high-elevation landscape in Gila County, where the terrain drops toward the Salt River Valley in the south. The map documents an intricate network of water management features essential for high-country life, ranging from the Cemetery Tank and Apache Pond Number One to remote springs such as Wild Bull Spring and Trail House Spring. Cattle ranching and land use patterns are visible through labels like the New Cedar Drift Fence Tank and Louse Flat Tank. The presence of several family-named landmarks like the Sam Green Tank and named drainage systems like G Wash provides specific points of interest for local researchers. This modern survey reflects the continued reliance on scattered water sources across the mesas and flats, connected by remote routes including Co RD 818 and S Chief Ave.
