About this map

Rawhide Mountain and Copper Reef Mountain dominate this corner of Pinal County, where the desert landscape is defined by remote ranching outposts and scattered water sources. Isolated structures like the Sanders Rangeline Cabin and U B Rangeline Cabin signify the long-standing range management and livestock history of the region. The map reveals a network of canyons including Janis Canyon and Buck Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff toward Garden Creek and Deer Creek.

Surface water is a critical and sparse resource here, documented through numerous springs and man-made improvements. Named features such as Old Ranch Spring, Double Troughs Spring, and the Coal Field Windmill reflect the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like Starlight RD and Hawk Canyon RD, which connect these distant springs and summits like Little Stanley Butte to the broader Arizona interior.
