2023 Map of Rose Peak

About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Arizona mountains, where drainage systems like Rousensock Canyon and Hogtrail Canyon carve deep paths through the timber. The topography is defined by prominent elevations including Rose Peak and Brigham Peak, with the notable Strayhorse Divide separating watersheds in the northern section of the quadrangle. Human activity in this wilderness area is marked by a network of historic tracks such as the Strayhorse Trl and Ad Bar Trl, connecting remote water sources like Engineer Spring and Divide Tanks Number Two. In the southern reaches, the small settlement at Pine Flat sits near the base of Pipestem Canyon, providing a rare point of habitation amidst the ridgelines and saddles. The map illustrates a landscape utilized for seasonal livestock grazing and backcountry transit, evidenced by numerous named tanks and springs scattered across the Blue Range.
