About this map

Payson serves as the focal point for this survey of the High Country, situated at the junction of State Hwy 87 and State Hwy 260. The landscape is defined by the transitions between the town's northern expansion and the Tonto National Forest, where residential enclaves like Freedom Acres and Wonder Valley sit amidst complex topography. The E Verde River carves through the central portion of the map, flanked by prominent elevations such as Little Diamond Rim and Mesa del Caballo.

Evidence of the region's water management for ranching and local use is visible in the numerous tanks scattered across the terrain, including Shoofly Number Two Tank and Birch Mesa Tanks. The map also details essential infrastructure like the Payson Airport and the network of Forest Service roads including Houston Mesa Rd, which provides access to more remote areas like Whispering Pines and Flowing Springs.
