About this map

Rye and Gisela serve as the primary hubs in this part of Gila County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Tonto Creek and Rye Creek. The map documents a blend of traditional ranching heritage and modern residential development, visible in the proximity of established operations like Seventy Six Ranch and H Bar Ranch to the Deer Creek Village Subdivision and Tonto Creek Shores. This area in central Arizona is deeply marked by its water sources, with numerous springs such as Sycamore Spring and Sand Wash Spring supporting life in the high desert terrain.

Transport routes and recreational access are centered around Jakescorner, where highways meet near the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Further north, the canyon topography becomes more pronounced at The Box and throughout the steep descents of Neal Canyon and Haycox Canyon. The map also traces historical movement through the terrain via Cattle Trl and provides access to the backcountry through the Deer Creek Trailhead.
