About this map

The town of Lakeside and the adjacent community of Pinetop serve as the focal points for this 1990s-era survey of the high country above the Mogollon Rim. This landscape is defined by its transition from the dense Timber of the Sitgreaves National Forest to the open flats and volcanic features that dot the region. Numerous springs and reservoirs like Rainbow Lake and Scott Reservoir illustrate the critical water management of the area, while the presence of the Porter Spring Rearing Ponds highlights the importance of local wildlife resources.

Local industry and infrastructure are represented by features such as the Cinder Pit on Porter Mountain and the Sponseller Siding railroad spur. To the south, the boundary of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation cuts across the landscape near Billy Creek and Walnut Creek. The survey also details several small-scale settlements and seasonal areas including Lake of the Woods and numerous family-named landmarks like Pat Mullen Mountain and Jaques Mountain.
