2014 Map of Jerusalem Mountain

About this map

Jerusalem Mountain serves as the focal point of this arid Pinal County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of drainages and named summits. Water sources, vital for early land use in this desert environment, are identified by several scattered points such as Rockhouse Spring, Lime Spring, and Walker Springs. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous canyons, including the significant Jerusalem Canyon and the evocatively named Devils Canyon to the south. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Huggins Peak and Red Rooster Mtn, while more level ground appears at Poverty Flat and Beargrass Flat. The presence of these named basins and flats among the sharp relief of The Tablelands suggests a history of localized grazing and travel through the high desert corridors.
