About this map

The Cimarron Hills and Towel Peaks dominate this high-desert landscape in central Arizona, captured here in a 1965 survey. This area within the Tonto National Forest and Coconino National Forest shows a sophisticated system of water management essential for ranching and survival in the arid high country. Dozens of named catchment tanks, such as Nine and a Half Mile Tank and Sycamore Tank, are scattered across the basins and mesas, illustrating the reliance on seasonal runoff.

A network of pack and jeep trails provides access to isolated landmarks like Needle Rock and The Rocks, as well as several springs including Hackberry Springs. Along the southern boundary, an Aqueduct and Flume near the Yavapai and Gila County line mark the movement of water toward industrial or agricultural centers. The map also records early geographic names like Dorens Defeat Canyon and the high point at Hackberry Mtn, providing a precise record of the terrain before modern development or major forest changes.
