About this map

Horseshoe Cienega Lake and the high-elevation wetlands of the Apache National Forest define this 2021 landscape in the White Mountains. The terrain is a complex network of volcanic buttes and seasonal water sources, featuring named marshes and flats like Old Corral Cienega and Penrod Flat. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of forest service roads such as Co RD 620 and local landmarks like McCoy Bridge, which crosses the southern drainage systems.

The presence of numerous tanks and springs, including Wild Horse Spring and Gooseberry Spring, indicates a landscape traditionally managed for livestock and wildlife. Cinder cones and peaks like Cinder Point Mtn and Brushy Mtn rise above the drainage basins of the N Fork White River and Horseshoe Cr. This topographic study preserves the specific nomenclature of the region, from the Apache-influenced Shush Be Tou to recreational points like Beaver Dam Park.
