2018 Map of Mine Mountain

About this map

Tonto National Forest defines the rugged character of this Maricopa County interior, where the Mazatzal Mountains rise sharply against the horizon. The landscape is marked by a complex network of canyons and washes, including the prominent Mesquite Wash and Cane Spring Canyon, which trace the drainage patterns of the arid high desert. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by named water sources and geological landmarks, such as Mine Mountain Spring and the Malpais Cliffs. Human presence is sparse, confined primarily to unpaved access routes like Cline Cabin Rd and Svr Rd 143. The map documents a wilderness still largely shaped by its natural hydrology and relief, from the heights of Pine Mtn down to the seasonal flows of Picadilla Cr and Cottonwood Cr.
