About this map

Coronado National Forest lands dominate this mid-1990s look at the high desert terrain of eastern Pima County. The map reveals a landscape shaped by water management and ranching infrastructure, where named water sources like Poppy Well, Burleson Well, and Limestone Well provided the necessary lifeblood for cattle operations. The presence of Brush Corrals in the southern reaches of Buehman Canyon suggests the enduring patterns of open-range livestock handling.

Access across this transition of Davis Mesa and the deep cuts of Edgar Canyon is largely limited to 4wd tracks and the more prominent Redington Road. Significant topographic features such as Lane Hill and various springs—including Georges Spring and Pearsons Spring—serve as essential landmarks for navigation in a region where canyons like Peck Canyon and Alder Canyon create a complex, interlocking network of drainages.
