About this map

The Mogollon Rim forms a dramatic geological divide across this portion of Navajo County, separating the Sitgreaves National Forest from the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to the south. This late-twentieth-century survey highlights a landscape defined by ranching history and forest management, where the Blevins Ranch and the former Bunger Ranch (Site) represent early settler footholds in a water-scarce environment. The map details an extensive network of drainage basins, including Baldwin Draw and Phoenix Park Wash, along with numerous stock tanks such as Salt Tank and West Buckskin Tank that supported the local cattle industry.

Transportation corridors like the General George Crook Road and the Old Meridian Road trace historical routes along the ridges. Navigational landmarks include the Buckskin Lookout Tower and Bunger Point, which offer vantage points over the complex network of canyons and draws. The presence of the Guide Fourth Meridian East indicates the importance of precise surveying in this rugged timber and grazing country.
