2023 Map of Pinal Peak

About this map

The Pinal Mountains dominate this region of Gila County, rising to elevations at Signal Peak and Pinal Peak within the Tonto National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named canyons, including the steep corridors of Six Shooter Canyon and Icehouse Canyon. Human presence is concentrated along the northern edge where the Gila Community College Gila Pueblo Campus sits near the outskirts of the neighboring city, while the interior remains rugged and accessible primarily via forest routes like S Icehouse Canyon Rd and the Pioneer Pass. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by dozens of named catchments such as Schoolhouse Tank, Convict Tank, and Old Pond Tank scattered across the high terrain. Historical transit and land use patterns are visible through established trails like the Toll Road Trl and the location of Pinal Ranch.
