About this map

The Apache National Forest dominates this landscape in Greenlee County, where the topography is defined by high plateaus and deep drainage networks. The prominent Four Bar Mesa and No Bar Mesa provide level ground above the steep cuts of Juan Miller Creek and Pigeon Creek. This area, surveyed in the mid-1960s, reveals a remote backcountry managed for both recreation and cattle ranching.

Evidence of local movement and land use is clear along the historic Coronado Trail and numerous Jeep Trails that link vital water sources like Four Bar Mesa Tanks and Joe Tank. For researchers and genealogists, the map identifies specific points of human activity including the Trail Cabin, the North Corral, and a Quarry. Public use is anchored at the Upper Juan Miller Picnic Area and the Lower Juan Miller Campground, marking established stop-offs in the Arizona high country.
