| 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 FlOur 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. Elevations range from about 2200 feet along Mesquite Wash to 6236 feet at Pine Mountain. Field work was carried out during March and April, 1997. In the lower elevations saguaro, palo verde, acacia, and cholla cactus dominate. Above about 3500 feet chaparral vegetation forms thick, almost impenetrable thickets. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the Lone Fire of 1995 cleared most of the vegetation from Brushy Basin and a large part of the Mazatzal Mountains, making it easier to hike and to see the rocks. Mapping of the surficial deposits was based on both field observations and interpretation of color 1:30,000 scale aerial photographs (dated 6-12-88) obtained from the Tonto National Forest Service in Phoenix. All of the region is administered by the Tonto National Forest. | en_US |
