About this map

Knoll Lake and the surrounding Mogollon Rim backcountry are defined here by a network of deep-cut drainages and high-altitude water resources. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the upper reaches of Tonto Creek, where the Tonto State Fish Hatchery sits near the Hatchery Trailhead. This area serves as a vital hydrological hub, with numerous tanks and springs like Tonto Spring and Gentry Spring supporting both local ranching operations and wildlife.

Transportation through this high-elevation landscape relies on a grid of forest routes, including the prominent Limestone Rd and Rim Rd. Historical human presence is marked by scattered structures such as Limestone Ranch and O'Haco Cabins, while high-point surveillance is provided by the O'Haco Lookout Tower and Promontory Lookout Tower. The terrain is characterized by named ridges and canyons, including the significant Buck Springs Canyon and Rattlesnake Ridge, which create natural corridors for livestock and travel.
