1948 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

The Tonto National Forest and Crook National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Superstition Mountains reveals a history of early ranching and ancient habitation. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as Reevis Ranch and the Woodbury Cabin, while the Cliff Dwellings near White Mtn point to a much deeper history. The network of pack trails, including the Reevis Trail and J F Ranch Trail, connects remote watering holes like Iron Mtn Spr and Pinto Spring Trough. Evidence of early industry is found at Rogers Troughs (Old Mill), and the solitary Reevis Grave serves as a stark reminder of the isolation faced by pioneers in this complex system of canyons and ridges between Iron Mountain and Montana Mtn.
