About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Lake and the Salt River anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Salt River Valley meets the rising elevations of the Sierra Ancha. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Griffin Wash, Meddler Wash, and Walnut Cr, which carve through the high desert. Small settlements and residential clusters such as Willow, Cottonwood Acre, and Rock House are situated along the Globe-Young Highway, reflecting the modern infrastructure and rural development patterns within the Tonto National Forest.

Notable topographic features like Hackberry Mtn and Black Mesa dominate the central and eastern portions of the map. The presence of numerous water management sites, such as Cholla Ridge Tank, Roadrunner Tank, and Tin Shack Spring, highlights the critical importance of water resources in this arid environment. The map also traces Cherry Creek Rd as it winds through the foothills, providing access to more remote locations like Salt River Canyon.
