About this map

Tonto National Forest land dominates this 1964 survey of the Gila and Maricopa County line, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high ridges. Isolated ranching operations such as Two Bar Ranch and Horrell Ranch sit amidst the high desert terrain, connected by a skeletal system of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. A lonely Schoolhouse near the Two Bar Ranch suggests the presence of a small, dispersed community in the mid-20th century.

The landscape is defined by dramatic geological features like Black Mountain, Granite Mountain, and the Nonesuch Rocks. Water sources are critical but scattered, including Pinto Creek and Campaign Creek, along with named springs like Nonesuch Spring and Mud Spring. The historic Apache Trail skirts the northern edge of the map, providing a glimpse into the primary transport route through this portion of the Arizona wilderness before modern infrastructure expanded.
