About this map

Gisela and the surrounding high desert terrain are defined by the passage of Tonto Cr through the heart of the Tonto Basin. This region, documented during the late 2010s, showcases a landscape of deep canyons and prominent mesas typical of Gila County. The settlement of Rye sits to the west along Rye Cr, while newer residential developments like Tonto Creek Shores appear near the riverbank.

Topographic details reveal a network of seasonal washes and springs, such as Sycamore Wash and Bee Spring, which are vital markers in this arid environment. The map also traces historical transit corridors like Old Rte 188, providing a clear view of how modern roads intersect with older pathways. Rising above the basin, features like Sierra Ancha and Cottonwood Mtn establish the geological boundaries of this Tonto National Forest sector.
