1998 Map of Limestone Canyon North

About this map

The Mogollon Rim forms a dramatic topographical boundary across this portion of Navajo County, separating the high country of the Sitgreaves National Forest from the lands of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages including Limestone Canyon, Jumpoff Canyon, and McCleve Canyon, which cut through the uplifted plateau. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several named tanks and springs, such as Jumpoff Tank, Chino Tank, and Limestone Spring. Human presence is concentrated around the rim and ridges, marked by infrastructure like the Limestone Fire Station and a prominent Lookout. These features, combined with named peaks like Burke Mountain, provide a look at the federal and tribal management of the Arizona landscape during the late twentieth century.
