Christopher Creek is just one of more than a dozen small hamlets along a 50-mile expanse of Rim Country. Beginning at the boundary of the White Mountain Apache Reservation and moving west directly under the Mogollon Rim, Ponderosa Springs is the first subdivision you encounter. Next would be Colcord Estates, Gordon Canyon, Hunter Creek, See Canyon, and then Christopher Creek. Moving on to the west, there is Kohlâs Ranch, Tonto Estates, Ellison Creek, Bonita Creek, Whispering Pines/ Washington Park, Geronimo Estates, before arriving in Pine and Strawberry. Yes, along the way there are also a number of other tiny developments carved out of the ranches of the early settlers. If you noticed that we skipped right over Mead/Collins Ranch and Tonto Village, then you have discovered this weekâs focus.
