About this map

Sombrero Peak and its lower counterpart Little Sombrero Peak dominate the high ground of Gila County in this mid-1980s topographic record. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness to the west and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to the east, separated by the deep drainage of Cherry Creek. This rugged territory in the Tonto National Forest is characterized by an intricate network of canyons, including Pueblo Canyon and Devils Chasm, which suggest a topography where water sources are vital. Dozens of named springs, such as Bermuda Falls Spring and J Z Rogers Spring, are meticulously plotted across the drainages, indicating their importance for both wildlife and human activity in this arid environment. The presence of Pottery Point and several named washes like Soldier Camp Wash provides a look at the historical nomenclature of the region's prominent ridges and flats.
