About this map

Coronado National Forest encompasses the high country of the Dragoon Mountains in this mid-1980s topographical survey, centered on the granite defenses of the Cochise Stronghold. The landscape is dominated by vertical relief, from the towering Mount Glenn and Rockfellow Dome to the rugged depths of Grapevine Canyon and Noonan Canyon.

Evidence of human movement through this complex terrain is noted along the Middlemarch Pack Trail and the East Stronghold Pack Trail, routes that bypass the steep climbs of Cochise Peak. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, represented by reliable points like Barret Spring, Cochise Spring, and Pear Tank. Small-scale resource extraction is also visible, with several locations marked simply as Prospect and a larger Gravel Pit situated near the mountain's eastern apron.
