2021 Map of Bartlett Mountain

About this map

Oro Blanco and Old Glory sit at the center of this high-desert survey, which documents the complex terrain of the Coronado National Forest just north of the international boundary. The landscape is defined by its water management strategy, where numerous named tanks such as Cemetery Tank and Warsaw Tank supported cattle and mining operations in an arid climate. To the south, the diagonal line of the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos border cuts across deep drainages like Bonita Canyon, creating a sharp geopolitical boundary in a continuous wilderness of ridges and washes. The presence of Casa Piedra near the border highlights the historic routes and small outposts that once connected this remote region of Santa Cruz County to the larger territory. Geographic features like Bartlett Mtn and Cobre Mtn provide the vertical relief for a network of gulches and canyons including Scribner Gulch and California Gulch.
