About this map

Top-of-the-World sits at the high western edge of this landscape, marking a transition between the rugged peaks and the winding drainages of the Tonto National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of springs and water sources vital to this arid environment, including Savage Tunnel Spring, Mercer Tunnel Spring, and Oxhide Mine Spring, which suggest a history of subsurface exploration and mining activity near Bellevue.

To the east, the terrain rises into the Pinal Mountains, while the central portion is defined by deep cuts such as Iron Canyon and Powers Gulch. The boundary between Pinal Co and Gila Co bisects the survey, cutting across high points like Five Point Mtn and Hutton Peak. Researchers will find a land shaped by both its natural geology and the infrastructure of the Pinal Ranch, with various tanks and springs like Simpson Lake and Lunn Tank scattered throughout the canyons.
