About this map

Cochise Head dominates this high-elevation landscape within the northern reaches of the Chiricahua National Monument. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and peaks, including the prominent Timber Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn, which are surrounded by the vast Coronado National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a region where access is primarily via forest roads such as E Bonita Canyon Dr and E Faraway Ranch Rd.

Evidence of human habitation and vital resources is sparse but significant, centered around locations like Taylor Place and a series of mountain springs including Dunn Spring and Silver Spur Spring. The map provides a detailed view of natural landmarks such as the Chiricahua Natural Bridge and strategic crossings like Whitetail Pass and Emigrant Pass, illustrating the geographic challenges of the Chiricahua Mountains at the start of the 21st century.
