2014 Map of Crozier Peak

About this map

Crozier Peak and the surrounding Tortilla Mountains define this high-desert region of Pinal County, where an intricate network of drainage systems like Donnelly Wash and Indian Camp Wash carve through the arid terrain. The landscape is marked by the long-distance route of the Arizona National Scenic Trail, which winds its way from the northern heights near Ripsey Hill down through the central ridges. Human presence is largely defined by ranching infrastructure and remote access routes, including Haydon Ranch Rd and Tecolote Ranch Rd. The survey reveals the complex topography of the Gila River valley watershed, where numerous ephemeral streams such as Eagle Wash and Swingle Wash flow through the foothills of the mineral-rich mountains of central Arizona.
