1987 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Blue Mountain dominates this portion of the Coronado National Forest in Cochise County, rising above a network of canyons and seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by its mining history and geological landmarks, with several prospects and the Apex Mine located on the southern slopes near The Nippers and Split Rock. Drainage patterns are clearly visible, showing how East Whitetail Creek and Keating Creek carve through the terrain. These watercourses, along with South Fork Oak Creek and various canyons like Triangle Canyon, illustrate the complex hydrology of this high-elevation desert region during the late twentieth century. The distribution of mining sites near summits like Haystack suggests a legacy of mineral exploration that persists alongside the protected forest lands.
