2014 Map of Double Buttes

About this map

Double Buttes and Indian Butte anchor this high-desert landscape in eastern Arizona, where the topography is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. Published in 2014, the survey reveals a network of canyons including Rock House Canyon and Horse Canyon, which feed into major ephemeral watercourses like Canyon Cr and Willow Cr. The distribution of named tanks and springs, such as Whitetail Spring and Mustang Ridge Tank, illustrates the critical importance of water management in this arid Gila County terrain. Transportation is limited to a single primary artery, Route 12, which skirts the northern section of the map near Sloan Cr. The detailed contour lines also delineate significant landforms like Keystone Ridge, providing a clear picture of the area's natural boundaries and elevation changes.
