About this map

The Mogollon Rim forms a massive geological divide across this landscape, separating the Mogollon Plateau and the Sitgreaves National Forest to the north from the lower canyons of the Tonto National Forest to the south. This transition zone is marked by sharp topographic drops and notable landmarks like Al Fulton Point and the Military Sinkhole. Historically, the presence of the General Crook trail route and the Mogollon Rim-Snowmobile A path reflect the area's transition from early military transportation to modern recreation.

While largely protected forest land, the map documents the residential development of Colcord Mountain Estates in the southeastern corner, situated near Colcord Canyon. Water remains a central feature of the high country, with Woods Canyon Lake and Palomino Lake positioned on the plateau, while numerous drainages such as Chevelon Cr and Gordon Canyon Cr carve the terrain. Named springs like Bear Spring and Allenbaugh Spring indicate vital water sources in this complex forest environment.
