About this map

The Mogollon Rim dominates this high-altitude landscape, forming a massive geological escarpment that separates the Sitgreaves National Forest to the north from the Tonto National Forest to the south. This 1990 survey captures the developed recreation infrastructure along the rim, centered around Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs Lake. Evidence of civil engineering is present at the Woods Canyon Dam, which helps manage these alpine water resources.

Named geographical features like Christopher Mountain, Turkey Peak, and Snowshoe Ridge define the complex drainage systems that feed Gordon Creek and Hunter Creek. Local landmarks such as Military Sinkhole and Al Fulton Point provide specific orientation along the edge of the rim, while several designated recreation sites, including the Rocky Point Recreation Site and Aspen Recreation Site, highlight the area's transition into a primary destination for outdoor activity in the late twentieth century.
