About this map

Queens Head stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Apache National Forest meets the Gila National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal water management and drainage, defined by numerous named features such as Fitzgerald Cienega and Dry Lake. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of significant canyons and gulches, including Hardcastle Canyon, Lee Russell Canyon, and Schoolhouse Canyon, which suggests a history of localized resource use and movement.

Surface water is a defining element for land management here, with many scattered tanks and springs such as Turkey Park Tank, Mule Spring, and Schoolhouse Spring providing critical points across the territory. This 2017 survey details the remote infrastructure of the area through routes like Center Fire Rd and Forest Rd 93, providing a clear record of the access points into these protected mountain lands.
