About this map

Oracle Ridge and the Santa Catalina Mts dominate this landscape where the high desert meets mineral-rich foothills. The topography traces a legacy of hard-rock mining and ranching, centered on the settlement of Campo Bonito and the developed area of San Manuel. Evidence of early industrial activity is etched across the terrain, from the Smelter near American Flag Ranch to numerous workings like the Highjinks Mine and Southern Belle Mine.

The map reveals a network of water sources and family-run cattle operations essential to the region's survival, including the Kannally Ranch and 3 C Ranch. Numerous springs and washes, such as Peppersauce Wash and Tule Spring, carve through the canyons. Notable survey markers like USMM No 2 and a Landing Strip provide technical landmarks within the Coronado National Forest, illustrating the intersection of private enterprise and public land management in Pinal County.
