About this map

Florence Junction serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the major corridor of Us-60 intersects with local routes near the southern boundary. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high peaks and canyons of the Tonto National Forest in the northeast. Small residential and historical nodes like Smelter Town, Gold Camp, and Queen Valley are situated along the lower elevations, surrounded by drainage features such as Whitlow Canyon and the Whitlow Ranch Flood Control Basin.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by seasonal water sources and tanks, including Queen Cr Tank and Apache Land Tank, which support activity in an otherwise arid environment. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Elephant Butte and Dromedary Peak, while the western edge shows the expanding footprint of Gold Canyon. This survey provides a clear view of the road network and water infrastructure established to manage the desert terrain.
