About this map

Globe and its neighboring mining-era communities occupy a complex landscape of ridges and washes within the Tonto National Forest. The modern development pattern is clearly visible in the densely clustered neighborhoods of Central Heights-Midland City, Claypool, and Little Acres, which contrast with the more dispersed rural settlements like Wheatfields and Radium to the north. These communities are linked by the Apache Trl and various canyon roads that follow the natural topography.

Canyons and washes dominate the drainage network, with Pinal Cr and Bloody Tanks Wash cutting through the center of the survey. For genealogists and local historians, the Globe Cem and the evocatively named Graveyard Canyon serve as important landmarks of the region's heritage. The map also documents numerous water sources vital to this arid environment, such as Jasper Spring, Irene Spring, and Arkansas Tank.
