2013 Map of Copperas Peak

About this map

Lake Roberts and the community of Lake Roberts Heights serve as the central hub of this high-country landscape within the Gila National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of canyons and water-management features, ranging from Alum Canyon in the north to Meerschaum Canyon and Hill Canyon further south. The presence of numerous named tanks, such as Thirtytwo Tank and Gila Flat Tank Number Two, indicates the importance of water storage in this arid terrain. Topographical landmarks like Copperas Peak, Buck Hannen Mtn, and Wild Horse Mesa provide distinct navigational points through the forest. Transportation is primarily limited to State Hwy 15 and State Hwy 35, which intersect near Trout Valley, facilitating access to the various springs and drainages like Sapillo Cr that carve through the mesa country.
