About this map

Tonto National Forest land defines this portion of Gila County, where the prominent Sombrero Peak and Little Sombrero Peak rise above a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The landscape is marked by a high density of water sources essential for this arid region, including Bermuda Falls Spring, Yellow Jacket Spring, and the Half Barrel Spring. These features, along with names like Mustang Ridge and Hog Mtn, reflect a history of land use tied to the area's natural topography.

Drainage systems like Cherry Cr and W Fork Oak Cr have carved deep features such as Devils Chasm and Bronco Canyon, which shape the local geography. Human activity is evidenced by forest roads such as NF-119 and NF-203, providing access through the Lone Pine Divide to points like Pottery Point. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain as it existed in 2018, documenting the relationship between these named springs and the rugged vertical relief of the Arizona backcountry.
