About this map

Weber Peak and the high ridges of the Gila Mountains dominate this landscape northeast of Safford, where steep drainages and isolated springs define the local geography. The map captures a transition from the rugged highlands of Bear Spring Canyon down to the alluvial washes that feed the valley floor. To the south, the presence of the Graham Cem and local thoroughfares like W Safford Bryce Rd and N Graham Cemetery Rd mark the edge of rural settlement and agrarian development.

Water remains the critical resource in this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous named water sources including Hackberry Spring, Walnut Springs, and Cottonwood Spring. The complex network of washes, such as Peterson Wash, Wilson Wash, and Talley Wash, illustrates how seasonal drainage has sculpted the terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the 2014 landscape, including modern infrastructure like the N Safford Landfill and N Phelps Dodge Rd, serving as a record of land use at the mountain's base.
