About this map

Sponseller Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Sitgreaves National Forest define this area of the Colorado Plateau in eastern Arizona. The landscape is marked by a complex network of volcanic peaks and cinder cones, including Ziegler Mtn, Marshall Mtn, and the Antelope Hills. Water management is the primary human imprint on the terrain, evidenced by a dense concentration of stock tanks such as Sponseller Lake, Liegler Tank, and Brusally Tank that support the local ranching economy.

Settlement is sparse, centered on Los Burros in the southeastern quadrant. The area's infrastructure consists of forest roads and fire routes like Turkey Mtn Fire Rd and Mud Spring Fire Rd, which navigate the drainages of Brown Cr and Rocky Arroyo. Local landmarks such as McCormick Knoll and Pulp Burn Knoll reflect a history of land use and geographic naming in this high-altitude forest environment.
