About this map

The Galiuro Mountains dominate this high-elevation Arizona landscape, providing a detailed view of the rugged terrain within the Galiuro Wilderness and Coronado National Forest. In the early 1980s, this area remained largely remote, marked by isolated outposts such as Pride Ranch and Browning Ranch. The map highlights the intersection of resource extraction and ranching history, noting the Jackson Mine and several cabins, including Jackson Cabin and the Stone Cabin Spring Ruins.

A complex network of ephemeral drainages, such as Redfield Canyon, Sycamore Canyon, and Swamp Springs Canyon, cut through the range toward the Cherry Spring Peak summit. These canyons are dotted with essential water sources like Salcita Spring and Eureka Spring, alongside human-made improvements including Stone Cabin Dam and Jesus Tank. The boundary between Graham and Cochise counties runs through this territory, marking a high-country divide between these arid regions.
