2011 Map of Jerusalem Mountain

About this map

Jerusalem Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-desert terrain of Pinal and Gila counties. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage system where Deer Creek and McDougal Wash carve through numerous canyons, including Martin Canyon and Walker Springs Canyon. Human activity is sparse, concentrated primarily at Mings Ranch and along the unpaved corridors of Jerusalem Canyon Rd and Co RD 10. Historical land use is suggested by the distribution of water sources like Rockhouse Spring and Lime Spring, which were vital for cattle ranching in these arid basins. The varied topography, from the level heights of The Tablelands to the prominent Red Rooster Mountain, indicates a region shaped by erosion and seasonal water flow, long before more intensive modern development.
