About this map

The Mogollon Rim dominates this 1981 landscape, a dramatic escarpment that separates the high plateau of the Coconino National Forest from the lower basins to the south. Central to this topography is Payson, situated as a mountain crossroads where State Highway 87 and State Highway 260 meet. This era shows the settlement patterns within the Tonto National Forest, where smaller communities like Pine, Strawberry, and Gisela follow the reliable water sources of the East Verde River and Tonto Creek.
