About this map

The Galiuro Mountains dominate this 1970s topographic study, showcasing a landscape defined by deep drainages and cattle-ranching infrastructure within the Coronado National Forest. Isolated outposts like Hooker Cabin and the Browning Dam reflect the remote character of Graham County, while the presence of the Powers Mine and Long Tom Mine points to the region's mineral prospecting history.

Transport through the Galiuro Wilderness is limited to primitive routes like the Rattlesnake Pack Trail and various jeep trails, emphasizing the area's transition into a protected backcountry. Numerous water sources, such as Holdout Spring, Echols Spring, and Mott Spring, are critical landmarks in this arid environment, serving as vital points of interest for those tracing old pack routes or historical land use patterns across peaks like Kielberg Peak and Bassett Peak.
