2014 Map of Daisy Mountain

About this map

Wranglers Roost sits at the western edge of this transition between the expanding desert settlements and the high peaks of the Tonto National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic and metamorphic massifs of Daisy Mountain and Gavilan Peak, which watch over a network of seasonal watercourses like New River and Skunk Cr. The map captures the suburban reach of New River and Cave Creek as residential streets like W White Spar Rd and N Zorrillo Dr push into the foothills. High-elevation features such as New River Mesa and the New River Mountains occupy the northeastern corner, where land management shifts to federal protection. Dozens of springs and tanks, including Shoemaker Spring and Hells Canyon Tank, indicate the critical importance of water management in this arid mountain environment.
