About this map

Tonto National Forest defines the rugged geography of this Gila County quadrangle, where the massive Mogollon Rim drops away into a complex network of canyons and draws. Settlement is concentrated in small communities like Star Valley, Tonto Village, and Mead Ranch, which sit among landmarks such as Diamond Point and Green Valley Hills. The landscape is etched by deep drainages, including Hells Gate Canyon and Schoolhouse Canyon, while many named springs and tanks like Wildcat Spring and Roberts Draw Tank mark the critical water sources for this high-country environment.

Outdoor heritage and traditional routes are evident along the Highline Trail, which skirts the rim near Myrtle Point. The map also details several family-named features like Roberts Mesa and Jim Roberts Draw, reflecting the ranching and land-use history of the area. These features, alongside the numerous property boundaries (PB units), provide a clear picture of how this Gila County wilderness was organized and navigated in the early 21st century.
