''For the geographical place see Tonto Basin
Tonto Basin is a western novel written by Zane Grey.
The Tonto Basin, also known as Pleasant Valley, covers the main drainage of Tonto Creek and its tributaries in central Arizona, at the southwest of the Mogollon Rim, the higher elevation transition zone across central and eastern Arizona.
Tonto Basin is mostly north-south trending and outflows into the Salt River (Arizona) at the extensive canyon reservoir called Theodore Roosevelt Lake-(satellite photo).
Arizona Route 188 traverses the lower Tonto Basin on the southwest side of Theodore Roosevelt Lake; it then merges at the water divide northeast of the Mazatzals, with State route 87 which proceeds to Payson and further to Kohls Ranch and Christopher Creek at the basin headwaters at the foot of the Mogollon Rim.
