2018 Map of Mule Hoof Bend

About this map

Mule Hoof Bend creates a striking geographical horseshoe where the Salt River carves through the central portion of this 2018 survey. This landscape is defined by the dramatic descent of the Salt River Canyon and several tributary drainages including Coyote Canyon, Walnut Canyon, and Rock Canyon. The settlement of Seneca sits at the southeastern edge of the map, situated along Cienega Creek. Within the Tonto National Forest, numerous water sources such as Slick Rock Spring, Mormon Spring, and Ash Spring are noted, highlighting the essential nature of these features in the high desert terrain. Local transport is represented by the Phillips Mine Road and a Primitive Road, which navigate the elevation changes around Ash Mountain and the Salt River Valley.
