About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Greenlee County, where the topography is defined by the sharp elevations of the Blue Range and several prominent peaks. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources, such as Eagle Cr and Strayhorse Cr, which have shaped the movement through these mountains for generations.

Evidence of range management and historical backcountry use is found in the scattered water infrastructure, including Divide Tanks Number One and Peters Tank. Long-established routes like US Hwy 191 wind through the canyons and across high points like Rose Peak and Strayhorse Divide. These names reflect the local history of livestock ranching and travel through the Rousensock Canyon area, providing a look at how this corner of Arizona was utilized by those navigating its ridgelines and saddles, including Hogtrail Saddle.
