1996 Map of Apache Peak

About this map

Whetstone Mountains dominate this 1996 survey, where the high ridges of the Coronado National Forest meet the high desert floor. The map tracks a network of remote water sources essential for cattle ranching and survival, including named points like McNalley Tank, Ramsey Well, and Bathtub Spring. Significant elevation changes are marked by prominent summits such as Apache Peak, Granite Peak, and French Joe Peak, while the northern reaches include Lobo Pass and the Burro Gap. This area in Cochise and Pima counties is defined by its deep drainages, specifically Guindani Canyon and French Joe Canyon. Evidence of early and modern activity is scattered throughout, from a lone Quarry and various prospects to a localized Radio Facility and a series of rugged 4wd tracks and pack trails crossing the divide.
