About this map

The Santa Teresa Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Graham County region, where high peaks and deep incisions like Buford Canyon define the drainage patterns. Much of the territory falls within the Coronado National Forest, a terrain characterized by ridges such as Pinnacle Ridge and isolated heights like Buford Hill. The southern reaches transition toward the Pinaleno Mountains, separated by the significant passage at Eagle Pass.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by a network of tanks and springs, including Goat Water Tank and Norton Spring, which likely supported ranching operations. The presence of W Klondyke Rd provides the primary transit artery through the canyon lands, connecting the drainage of Araivaipa Creek with the rugged interior. Geologists and local historians can trace the complex network of washes, from Telegraph Wash in the east to the deep Underwood Canyon in the south.
