About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Maricopa and Gila counties. This modern topographic view details a rugged network of drainage and ridgelines, where the Arizona National Scenic Trl traverses the western reaches near Sunflower Valley. The area is characterized by numerous named springs and seeps, such as Gold Tooth Smith Spring and Balloon Cabin Spring, which indicate critical water points in an otherwise arid environment.

Prominent peaks and geological formations define the central terrain, including Mt Ord and the distinctive Iron Dike. Ancient travel routes and modern access converge at Reno Pass, situated near Colcord Canyon. The mapping of the Slate Creek Divide provides a clear view of the hydrological split between regional basins, while canyons like Lion Canyon and Telephone Canyon illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the Tonto National Forest.
