1981 Map of Agua Caliente Hill

About this map

Coronado National Forest defines the steep topography of this 1981 survey, where the Santa Catalina Mountains meet a network of high-desert ranches. The landscape is characterized by a series of named tanks and springs essential to cattle operations, such as Agua Caliente Spring and Mud Tank, supporting local outfits like Bellota Ranch and M R Ranch. The elevation rises sharply toward Gibbon Mountain and Guthrie Mtn, with the Mt Lemmon Highway providing access to high-altitude sites like Windy Point Vista and the Bear Canyon Campground. Historically, the presence of the Old Military Reservation Boundary and various prospects suggests a layered history of land use, from defensive outposts to mineral exploration, all situated above the Tanque Verde Rd corridor.
