About this map

Rose Peak stands as the prominent landmark of this high-elevation landscape within the Apache National Forest, crowned by a Lookout Tower that surveys the surrounding ridges. The 1960s terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Strayhorse Creek, Rousensock Creek, and Squaw Creek, which carve deep canyons between peaks like Brigham Peak and Red Mountain.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is sparse but significant, with the A D Bar Ranch situated in the southeastern corner and the Pine Flat area to the south. Transportation through this remote section of Greenlee County relies on the historic Coronado Trail and numerous named pack trails. The presence of several water sources, such as Thomas Creek Spring and Bear Spring, highlights the critical infrastructure required for both livestock and forest management in this arid mountain environment.
