1986 Map of McFadden Peak

About this map

McFadden Peak dominates this central Arizona landscape, serving as a prominent landmark within the Tonto National Forest. The 1986 survey illustrates a transition from the elevated plateaus of Squaw Mesa and Cow Flat Mountain in the north down into the deep drainages of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness and Salome Wilderness. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial water sources, including Ash Creek Spring, Turkey Spring, and China Spring, which were vital for early cattle ranching and travel through these mountains.
