About this map

Apache National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Arizona, characterized by a series of volcanic features and numerous mountain springs. The terrain rises to prominent summits like Whiting Knoll, Saint Peters Dome, and Cerro Montoso, while the lower elevations are marked by seasonal drainages such as Whiting Wash and Wildcat Cr. The presence of small, localized settlements such as Potato Patch and Udall Park suggests a history of cattle ranching or seasonal high-country occupation.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by a dense network of developed sources including Mineral Springs, Pate Spring, and numerous catchment basins like Crossbred Tank and Thompson Park Tank. The road network, consisting of Us-60 and various county routes like Co RD 1326, provides access through the draws and over the ridges, connecting the isolated homesteads and forest tracts to the wider region.
