About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains dominate the northeastern portion of this topographic survey, marking a significant transition in the central Arizona landscape. Much of the terrain is protected within the Four Peaks Wilderness and the Soldier Camp Wilderness, preserving a network of seasonal water sources and peaks that define the Tonto National Forest. The map captures the meeting point of the Gila and Maricopa county lines, a boundary that runs through the high country near Pine Mountain.

Lower elevations to the west feature the distinctive topography of The Rolls and Mesquite Wash. Hydrology in this arid region is marked by numerous vital seeps and drainages, including Mine Mountain Spring, Willow Spring, and Cottonwood Creek. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Picadilla Creek and the network of forest roads suggest the intersection of primitive resource management and the protected wilderness boundary during the early 2000s.
