About this map

Strayhorse occupies a central position within this portion of the Apache National Forest, situated among a complex network of high-elevation drainages and ridges. The landscape is defined by its numerous cienegas—alkaline marshes or wet meadows—such as Butterfly Cienega, Cache Cienega, and KP Cienega, which serve as critical water sources in this arid environment. Significant topographic markers include Sawed Off Mtn and Raspberry Peak, while Moonshine Park and Indian Peak provide further orientation in the backcountry.

Transport through this terrain is largely restricted to a dense system of historical trails, including the Blue Cabin Ruins Trl and Highline Trl. These routes, along with water features like Aker Lake and Rattlesnake Lake, reflect a history of forest management and seasonal livestock grazing. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage patterns of Raspberry Cr and Lengthy Canyon, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped the Greenlee County uplands.
