About this map

Lake Roberts Heights and the adjacent community of Trout Valley anchor the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the northern shore of Lake Roberts. This high-altitude region of the Gila National Forest is defined by the drainage systems of Sapillo Creek and Meadow Creek, which converge near the settlements. The presence of numerous water sources, including Meerschaum Spring and Alum Spring, suggests a reliance on scattered riparian pockets within the drier upland terrain.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is visible through the network of named paths such as the Gila Flat Trl and Railroad Canyon Trl. These routes navigate significant topographic features like Copperas Peak and Buck Hannen Mtn, connecting the developed lakefront to the protected Gila Wilderness. The landscape also preserves local industrial or geological history through names like Meerschaum Canyon, while various livestock tanks like Jordan Tank and Corral Tank underscore the area's grazing history.
