Extended Description

The Tonto National Forest, shown in green, takes up most of the map in the center. In the lower right quadrant of the map, the Tonto National Monument is next to Theodore Roosevelt Lake, shown in blue off State Route 188. The Apache Trail is close by to the northwest, also directly off Route 188 The trail runs as a curving dashed white line to the southwest. The trail is labeled with red text reading “Unpaved and not recommended for large RVs.” Tonto Basin and Payson are north along State Route 188 and Globe and Superior are south of Theodore Roosevelt Lake. Highway 188 is part of a vein-like system within the forest that also includes highways 87, 260, 288, 60, and 88.

Phoenix takes up most of the lower left quadrant, bordering the Tonto National Forest to the west. Nearby towns, in clockwise order, include Mesa, Scottsdale, and Apache Junction. US Route 60, State Routes 101 and 202, and Interstate 10 make a loose grid system across the area, the latter road running southeast and labeled as heading toward Tucson. Interstate 17 runs parallel to the left edge of the map, up past the forest, and to an arrow labeled “To Flagstaff and Grand Canyon National Park.”

Along the upper right area of the map and bordering the Tonto National Forest to the east is a column-shaped section in pink representing the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.
