2018 Map of Buford Hill

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the high desert landscape of Graham County, where the transition between the Santa Teresa Mountains and the Pinaleno Mountains creates a complex system of drainage and relief. This 2018 survey documents a remote ranching and wilderness area defined by essential water sources, including Devils Hole, Cherry Tree Spring, and Crazy Horse Spring. The presence of numerous stock tanks, such as Goat Water Tank and Register Tank, illustrates the ongoing agricultural utility of the land despite its steep verticality. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the dramatic drop into Aravaipa Canyon and the winding course of Aravaipa Cr mark a significant geological shift. Transportation in this area remains sparse, centered on the historic route of W Klondyke Rd, which skirts the base of landmarks like Buford Hill and Oak Butte.
