2004 Map of Sombrero Peak

About this map

Sierra Ancha dominates this landscape, where the deeply incised Pueblo Canyon and Devils Chasm drop away from high ridges. This 2004 revision by the Forest Service highlights a territory defined by isolated springs and rugged drainages within the Tonto National Forest, showing a network of 4WD tracks that provide the only modern access to interior landmarks. The presence of Ellison Ranch and Flying H Ranch suggests a long history of cattle ranching in a region where water sources like Bermuda Falls Spring and Yellow Jacket Spring are essential. To the east, the boundary of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is marked along Bladder Wash, while the Sierra Ancha Wilderness preserves the western reaches. Notable features like Pottery Point and Hog Mountain speak to the specific local nomenclature of this Gila County terrain.
