About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains dominate this section of the Tonto National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of Yavapai and Gila counties meet. The central hydrologic feature is the E Verde River, which winds through deeply incised canyons like Limestone Canyon and Pole Hollow Canyon. This landscape is defined by its water sources, with numerous named tanks and springs such as Snowstorm Tank, Grapevine Spring, and Mineral Spring serving as vital landmarks in an otherwise arid environment.

Infrastructure is sparse, primarily represented by the Arizona National Scenic Trail as it traverses the high ridges. Named summits like Snowstorm Mtn and Moore Mtn overlook significant geological depressions and flats, including Hells Hole and Simonton Flat. The map also captures several distinctive local place names, from the descriptive Lousy Gulch and Wonder Gulch to the prominent Fisher Mesa in the southeast.
