About this map

Old Fort Reno (Site) marks a point of historical significance in the southwest corner of this mid-1960s landscape, situated near Reno Creek and the Moore Ranch. The area is characterized by the wide, winding course of Tonto Creek as it passes through the Tonto Basin, flanked by the steep rising elevations of the Sierra Ancha range to the east. Numerous prehistoric or early settler Ruins are documented across the terrain, particularly near Kayler Butte and along the various washes that feed into the main valley.

A network of rugged transit is visible through labeled Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that connect remote springs such as Reed Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Kayler Spring. Genealogists and local historians will find the H Four Cem near the center of the quadrangle, while geographic landmarks like Horse Ledge and Quartz Ledge define the ridges east of the basin. This map serves as a detailed record of the cattle ranching and frontier remnants within the Tonto National Forest before more modern developments altered the local character.
