Saddle Back Mountain

An excerpt from W.H. Emory's Report:

November 5 [1846] -- ...In the course of six miles we had crossed and re-crossed the [Gila] river twice as many times, when we left it by turning abruptly up a dry ravine [Ash Creek] to the south. This we followed for three miles, and crossed a ridge at the base of Saddle-Back mountain (so named by us from its resemblance to the outline of a saddle,) and descended by another dry creek [Roach Wash?] to the San Pedro, an insignificant stream a few yards wide and only a foot deep.
