About this map

The Sevenmile Mountains dominate this landscape within the Tonto National Forest in Gila County. This high-desert terrain is defined by its strategic water sources, which were essential for cattle ranching and travel in this arid region. Named catchments like Sevenmile Tank, Brushy Basin Tank, and Red Rock Tank are distributed across the basins, while permanent or seasonal flow is found at Wood Spring, Poverty Spring, and Gerald Spring.

Topographical landmarks provide significant orientation, including the prominent Rock Springs Butte and the deep incision of Bear Canyon and Sycamore Creek. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of the Brushy Basin, showing how water management has shaped the land use of the forest. The survey also captures precise township and range boundaries, including sections of t3n r17e and t2n r17e, which are critical for property and historical research.
