About this map

Greens Peak stands as the high point of this high-country landscape, overseeing a terrain defined by volcanic features and high-altitude water management. The boundary between the Apache National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation bisects the area, showing a complex network of springs and tanks like Halls Tank No. 3 and Udall Park Spring that support the local livestock and ranching economy.

Evidence of historical land use is visible at the Old Colter Ranch and the nearby Colter Ranch, while industrial activity is noted at the Cinder Pits near Horse Camp Draw. The importance of water in this arid environment is underscored by the density of named sources, from Carnero Lake in the northeast to the specialized drainage of the Udall Pipeline. Large prominent landmarks like Big Cienega Mountain and Pole Knoll dominate the horizon, serving as permanent anchors for this late-twentieth-century survey.
