1948 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

Reevis Ranch and the nearby Reevis Grave anchor this 1948 topographic study of the high-desert terrain within the Tonto National Forest and Crook National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Rogers Canyon and Fraser Canyon, which separate prominent summits such as Cimeron Mtn and Mound Mtn. Historical human activity is marked by remote outposts including Woodbury Cabin and the J F Ranch, alongside industrial remnants like the Rogers Troughs (Old Mill). This survey provides significant genealogical and archaeological value, specifically documenting the locations of Cliff Dwellings and numerous natural water sources like Pinto Spring Trough and Whiskey Spr, which were vital for cattle ranching and early habitation in this arid portion of Pinal County.
