2020 Map of Copperas Peak

About this map

Trout Valley and the residential area of Lake Roberts Heights provide the primary human footprint in this corner of the Gila National Forest. Centered on the waters of Lake Roberts and the flowing Sapillo Cr, the landscape is defined by its series of high mesas and deep drainages. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Copperas Peak and Buck Hannen Mtn, alongside the broad expanse of Wild Horse Mesa. The nomenclature of the region suggests a history of local mineral extraction and ranching, evidenced by Meerschaum Canyon, Meerschaum Spring, and Railroad Canyon. Numerous livestock tanks and natural springs, including Jordan Tank and Alum Spring, are scattered across the high country to support the seasonal use of the forest lands.
