2021 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

Tonto National Forest land dominates this high-elevation terrain where the border of Maricopa and Pinal counties meets. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and peaks, notably Iron Mtn and Montana Mtn, which serve as anchor points for several historic routes. The Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, intersecting with numerous secondary paths like the Rogers Canyon Trail and Woodbury Trail. This intricate trail system highlights the area's importance for transit through the mountain passes, connecting isolated water sources such as Angel Spring and Honeycutt Spring. The presence of named geographic features like Hackberry Butte and Angel Basin alongside various cattle-and-horse era springs suggests a long history of seasonal land use and ranching navigation through the deep cuts of Fish Creek Canyon and Hewitt Canyon.
