dc.description	The Mine Mountain quadrangle covers part of the southwestern flank of the Mazatzal Mountains. The northern side of the study area is drained by Picadilla Creek, Mesquite Wash, and Rock Creek. The region to the south is drained by Cottonwood Creek. The best access to the area is provided by the Four Peaks Road. The tum-off from State Route 87 is directly across from the road to Sugarloaf Mountain. The Four Peaks Road is mostly well-graded and passable by a 2-wheel-drive all the way over the ridge line of the Mazatzal Mountains and into the Tonto Basin. The road from the Four Peaks Road down Mesquite Wash is blocked and impassable. The southern parts of the study area are best reached by taking the dirt road south over The Rolls until it intersects Cottonwood Creek in the Mormon Flat Dam quadrangle. At this point it crosses the creek and becomes rough, but passable by a 4-wheel-drive at least as far as Cane Spring.
