1998 Map of Woods Canyon

About this map

The Mogollon Rim escarpment dominates this landscape, serving as a massive geological boundary between the Sitgreaves National Forest to the north and the Tonto National Forest to the south. Along this dramatic drop-off, the Mogollon Rim Visitor Center and Rim Lakes Vista provide vantage points over the heavily dissected terrain below. The map captures a high-country recreation hub centered on Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs Lake, featuring established infrastructure like the Woods Canyon Dam and an RV Pump Station. Historical transit routes are evident in the General George Crook Road, while modern land use is represented by the residential pockets of Colcord Estates and Ponderosa Estates. Water management is prominent through various reservoirs and smaller bodies like Palomino Lake and Lake One, essential for this arid mountain environment.
