2011 Map of Reno Pass

About this map

Mount Ord stands as a dominant vertical landmark in this high-desert landscape, crowned by the Mount Ord Lookout Tower which offers a vantage over the surrounding complex of peaks and canyons. The drainage network of Sycamore Creek and its various forks, including the West Fork Sycamore Creek and East Fork Sycamore Creek, carves through the terrain, supporting numerous water sources like Sycamore Spring and Rock Spring. Human activity is concentrated along the north-south transit corridor, evidenced by the Arizona Highway Maintenance Beeline Yard and the Cross F Ranch. The presence of the Cross F Trailhead indicates the area's transition into a space for managed recreation. To the south, Sunflower Valley sits at the base of Arrowhead Mountain, while the namesake Reno Pass provides a crossing point near Eagle Peak. Numerous named seeps and springs, such as Whiskey Spring and Kitty Joe Spring, highlight the critical role of water in this arid Arizona environment.
