2018 Map of Bowie Mountain North

About this map

Fort Bowie National Historic Site anchors this map, marking the crossroads of movement through the Dos Cabezas Mountains and Chiricahua Mountains. This rugged pass was a critical bottleneck for western travel, evidenced by the presence of the Butterfield Trail and Apache Pass, where water sources like Apache Spring and Goodwin Spring dictated the routes of early pioneers and military expeditions. The terrain is deeply cut by numerous drainages, including Siphon Canyon and Long Canyon, which converge toward the high desert flats to the north.
