2018 Map of Rudd Knoll

About this map

Apache National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features supports the high-country terrain. Natural features like Saint Marys Lake and Jessie Spring Marsh are complemented by man-made catchments including Russell Reservoir, Saint Josephs Reservoir, and San Salvador Reservoir. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Rudd Knoll and Pat Knoll, separated by the lower reaches of Williams Valley and the basin at Boneyard. Resource extraction is evident through numerous specialized excavations, including the Rudd Knoll Pit series and several Udall Pit locations. The map detail highlights an extensive network of forest access routes like Water Canyon Rd and the Saffel OHV trail, alongside numerous livestock tanks and springs that underscore the area's utility for seasonal grazing and watershed protection.
