The Gentry Area

The Gentry area is accessible via Highway 260, followed by 12 miles of gravel
road. The Gentry area is well served by infrastructure with power available 11
miles east at Forrest Lakes. Furthermore, a wide range of commercial services
are available from the town of Payson, with a population of 15,000, located
approximately 35 miles west of the Gentry area. 


The nearest rail service is approximately 40 miles away, and this railway

it is a leading gateway for trade between the United States and Asia.
