2021 Map of Buehman Canyon

About this map

The Santa Catalina Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Pima County, where the topography transitions from the steep drainage of Buehman Canyon to the elevated expanse of Davis Mesa. Managed as part of the Coronado National Forest, this terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources essential for life in the arid southwest. Numerous tanks and springs are scattered across the quadrangle, including Cottonwood Cove Spring, Pearsons Spring, and Georges Spring, which likely served both local wildlife and historic ranching operations. Modern access is facilitated by Redington Rd in the southeast, while the interior remains accessible via rugged routes like the Brush Corral Trl. The presence of features such as Old Dirt Tank and Lonehill Tank indicates a long-standing reliance on water catchment systems to support livestock and seasonal travel through the deep relief of Bullock Canyon and Diablo Canyon.
