About this map

Strayhorse serves as a central point of human activity in this high-elevation landscape, marked by its Strayhorse Forest Service Facility and a Stray Horse Campground. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on Forest Service and state infrastructure, including the Arizona Highway Department Maintance Yard. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by named features like Aker Lake, Rattlesnake Tank, and Walnut Tank, alongside numerous marshes known as cienegas.

From the heights of Blue Peak Lookout to the depths of Burnt Corral Draw, the map traces the drainage of East Eagle Creek and its many tributaries. Remote facilities like the Rattlesnake Basin Cabin and working areas such as Hagen Corral and Salt House Corral indicate the land's use for forestry and grazing. Prominent landmarks like Sawed Off Mountain and the Blue Vista Scenic Overlook anchor the topography, providing a detailed view of the regional basin and mesa systems.
