About this map

Tonto National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Gila County, where the dramatic topography of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness meets the drainages of Cherry Creek and Salome Creek. This mid-1980s provisional survey highlights a terrain of isolated mesas and high saddles, such as Pendleton Mesa and Board Tree Saddle, long before modern development altered these remote reaches.

Strategic water sources including Ash Creek Spring, Turkey Spring, and China Spring are documented alongside named peaks like Mc Fadden Peak and Mc Fadden Horse Mountain. The map detail captures the intersection of natural landmarks such as Juniper Flat and Cow Flat Mountain, providing a technical view of the complex hydrology formed by Dinner Canyon, Wilson Creek, and Deep Creek during this period of forest management.
