About this map

Diamond Rim dominates the central landscape of this Gila County survey, where the high elevations of the Tonto National Forest meet a complex network of draws and canyons. The topographical detail reveals a rugged territory marked by landmarks such as Roberts Mesa and Turkey Ridge. Human activity is concentrated around scattered homesteads and infrastructure, including the Pyle Ranch in the north and Tonto Village to the east.

Resource management and navigation are evident through the numerous water features like Diamond Spring and Mayfield Spring, alongside man-made improvements such as the Radio Facility Lookout Tower atop Diamond Point. The presence of several Borrow Pit sites and a Prospect suggests localized extractive efforts, while an intricate system of Jeep trails and roads like Pyeatt Road connects these remote locations across the drainage basins of Ellison Creek and Little Green Valley Creek.
