2014 Map of Ash Peak

About this map

Ash Peak and the surrounding Black Hills define this high-desert landscape in southeastern Arizona, where the boundary between Graham and Greenlee Counties cuts diagonally across the terrain. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by complex drainage systems and volcanic landforms, with major thoroughfares like Us-70 and N US Highway 191 providing the primary access through the passes. The map reveals an arid ranching or resource-management infrastructure, evidenced by numerous named water catchments such as Slick Rock Basin, Yellowstone Tank, and Coyote Tank. Named landmarks like Thumb Butte, Rhyolite Peak, and Jackpot Mesa serve as vital navigational points for those traversing the Peloncillo Mountains. Local history is captured in family and descriptive names for the deep incisions in the earth, including Wes White Canyon, Sexton Canyon, and Harris Camp Canyon.
