2018 Map of Dagger Peak

About this map

Tonto National Forest defines the character of this Gila County landscape, where the Salt River carves a deep path through complex terrain. The river is marked by series of treacherous white water, including The Sleeper Rapid, Corkscrew Rapid, and Cliff Hanger Rapid, illustrating the waterway's untamed nature in this era. This central corridor is flanked by prominent elevations such as Black Mesa and Redmond Mtn, with local life centering on the small settlement of Dagger. Numerous water sources like Montague Spring, Liquor Spring, and Bill Lee Spring are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as critical landmarks in a region dominated by deep drainages like Cougar Canyon and Sycamore Canyon. The mapping of several numbered blocks indicates specific land parcels or historic grazing allotments within the national forest boundary.
