About this map

Gentry Mountain dominates the northern skyline of this terrain, where the high-elevation mesas of Gila County meet the western edge of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The 1990 survey captures a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction, with numerous adits and prospects scattered across the slopes of Middleton Mesa and Vosburg Mesa. A isolated grave near Pine Spring and a corral on the flats of Gentry Mesa hint at the area's grazing and settlement history within the Tonto National Forest.

The hydrography of the region is mapped in detail, showing a network of named springs like Charles Williams Spring and Cunningham Spring alongside essential livestock infrastructure such as Shell Mountain Tank and Clover Flat Tank. These features, coupled with the presence of a remote Landing Strip in Gentry Canyon, illustrate the logistical challenges of land use in this part of the Arizona highlands.
