About this map

McFadden Peak dominates this landscape within the Tonto National Forest, where high elevations descend into a complex network of canyons and mesas. The map reveals a land management structure defined by numerous Protracted Blocks, such as PB 53 and PB 47, indicating areas where traditional section lines were not formally surveyed. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by scattered improvements like Reg Tank, Paul Tank, and Horse Mountain Tank.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated at the PB Ranch and the McFadden Lookout, while the southern reaches are preserved within the Sierra Ancha Wilderness and Salome Wilderness. Small-scale resource extraction is suggested by various Prospects and a Gravel Pit near Board Tree Saddle. The drainage systems of Cherry Creek and McFadden Creek illustrate the natural erosion patterns across Juniper Flat and Squaw Mesa.
