2004 Map of Gentry Mountain

About this map

Q Ranch sits at the heart of this high-country landscape, positioned near the boundary where the Tonto National Forest meets the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the heights of Gentry Mountain and Shell Mountain down into the deep incision of Gentry Canyon. This area is heavily marked by small-scale resource extraction and early settlement infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Prospect sites, Adit locations, and scattered corrals. Water management is a central theme of the geography here, with a dense network of developed springs and tanks such as Cunningham Spring, Cem Spring, and the Clover Flat Tank system. These features, along with the Second Standard Parallel North, reflect the historical efforts to survey and utilize the remote Arizona interior for ranching and mineral exploration during the late 20th century.
