2011 Map of Teapot Mountain

About this map

Teapot Mountain and Sleeping Beauty Mountain dominate this central Arizona landscape, where the rugged topography of Pinal County is defined by steep canyons and sparse water sources. The drainages of Arnett Creek and Devils Canyon carve through the terrain, supported by a network of isolated water points such as Walnut Spring, Crucifixion Tank, and Wood Canyon Spring. This area reflects a specialized industrial and ranching footprint, evidenced by the large West Pit mining feature and numerous livestock tanks like Lime Tank and Black Hills Tank scattered across the high ground. The roadway network is limited, with Battle Axe Rd and Route 177 providing the primary access through the corridor between Copper Butte and the rising slopes of Granite Mountain. For those studying the land use of the copper-rich region, the map illustrates the clear intersection of natural geological formations and heavy industrial extraction.
