2011 Map of Rover Peak

About this map

Fifty One Ranch sits at the head of Ash Spring Creek, marking a point of human habitation in a landscape defined by high mesas and deep drainages. Located northeast of Phoenix, this 2011 survey shows a complex network of water resources vital for cattle and ranching, including the Lime Cabin outpost and dozens of named tanks such as Seldom Trick Tank and Monument Mesa Tank. The terrain rises toward Rover Peak and the surrounding heights of West Cedar Mountain and East Cedar Mountain. Drainage systems like Lime Creek and Cave Creek carve through the geology, while the presence of Stone Camp Spring and Indian Spring suggests the enduring importance of natural water sources in this arid environment. Forest service roads, including Cave Creek Rd, provide the primary access through the canyons and across Lockwood Mesa.
