2011 Map of Promontory Butte

About this map

Christopher Creek and Kohls Ranch serve as central hubs in this landscape of high plateaus and deep drainage basins. The map illustrates a complex of recreational and residential developments, including the Thompson Draw Summer Homes and Mountain Meadows. The presence of numerous specialized ranch properties such as Wipala Wiki Ranch and the R Bar C Scout Ranch reflects the area's long-standing transition from traditional livestock grazing to organized camps and seasonal residency. Tonto Creek and its many tributaries, including Horton Creek and Hunter Creek, carve through the terrain, punctuated by landmarks like Promontory Butte and Kushs Mountain. Cultural footprints are visible in the distribution of water features like Schoolhouse Tank and Bearhide Spring, which supported human activity in this vertical landscape. The map also detail the infrastructure of the Tonto National Forest, showing a network of fire roads and trails including the Christopher Mt Fire Control Rd.
