About this map

Tonto Creek and Haigler Creek converge in this remote Arizona landscape, carving deep passages like Haigler Canyon and the dramatic Hells Gate. The 2011 survey documents a territory defined by seasonal water management and isolated outposts, where dozens of tanks such as Smoky Hollow Tank and Mesa Tank support local ranching operations. Human presence is concentrated at small sites like Ellinwood Ranch, Spurlock, and the lonely Joy Cabin near the southern edge of the sheet.

The topography is dominated by significant elevations including Diamond Butte and Lost Camp Mountain, alongside geological features like Gold Gulch and Fuller Mesa. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of forest service access via NF-1045 and the distribution of wildlife and stock water sources like Thurlo Wildlife Tanks, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on high-desert drainage patterns.
