About this map

San Francisco Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape, rising to the iconic summit of Humphreys Peak. This modern topographic survey details the intricate network of peaks and saddles that form the volcanic massif, including Agassiz Peak, Fremont Peak, and Doyle Peak. The map highlights the recreational and ecological diversity of the area, from the active Snowbowl Ski Area and Arizona Snow Bowl Campground to the expansive grassy reaches of Hart Prairie.

Lower elevations show more permanent human footprints, such as the Michelbach Ranch and the headwaters of the Rio de Flag. Geologic and water features are meticulously recorded, showing numerous springs and tanks essential for livestock and wildlife, like Philomena Spring and Bismarck Tank. The eastern slopes reveal the deep incision of Beard Canyon leading into the Inner Basin, while Schultz Pass provides a vital corridor through the southern heights.
