2021 Map of Rockinstraw Mountain

About this map

Tonto National Forest land dominates this high-elevation region of Gila County, where the terrain transitions between prominent summits and deeply cut drainages. The landscape is defined by its verticality, anchored by Rockinstraw Mtn and the jagged Apache Peaks. Throughout the area, a complex system of water management features like Rockinstraw Tank, Summit Tank, and Apache Tank Number Two underscores the necessity of livestock watering holes in this arid environment. The presence of the Richmond Basin in the east suggests a focus of local activity and drainage. This survey also records numerous natural water sources including Cherry Horizontal Spring and Mint Spring, while the historic Apache Trl skirts the southwestern corner near the Gerald Hills.
