About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this section of the Arizona high country, where the winding course of the Black River carves a deep boundary between Apache and Greenlee counties. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a dense network of specialized catchments such as Fishbench Tank, Slaughter Tank, and the uniquely named Mushroom Seep. High vantage points like Hoodoo Knoll and Wildcat Point rise above the drainage systems of Wildcat Cr and Fish Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Mogollon Rim region.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is found in the distribution of remote landmarks, from Paradise Park in the southwest to Bill Earl Spring in the northeast. The presence of McKibbins Pond and numerous named sinks like Fish Sink suggest a terrain where seasonal water is carefully tracked. This 2014 record captures the remote character of the forest as it looked in the early 21st century, mapping the intersection of primitive roads like Co RD 25 with the natural topography.
