2021 Map of Bowie Mountain North

About this map

Fort Bowie National Historic Site anchors the southern portion of this landscape, marking the strategic gap between the Dos Cabezas Mountains and the Chiricahua Mountains. This rugged Arizona terrain is defined by the historic passage of the Butterfield Trl, which winds through Apache Pass past the critical waters of Apache Spring. The network of paths including the Visitor Center Trl and Return Trl reveals the concentrated activity around the old military post. Beyond the historic site, the map illustrates a landscape of high desert drainage and steep relief, from the heights of Helens Dome and Bowie Mtn to the deep incisions of Goodwin Canyon and Siphon Canyon. Cattle tanks like Maggie Tank and Red Tank are scattered across the northern flats, indicating the ongoing use of the area for ranching amidst the protected land of the Coronado National Forest.
