About this map

Eagle Creek cuts through the heart of this Arizona landscape, carving a complex network of canyons and gulches. The terrain is defined by its industrial and ranching history, with place names like the Coronado Incline and Copper Mountain suggesting the mining heritage of the region, while Seneca Corral points to more traditional land uses. The drainage pattern is dense, featuring significant side-canyons such as Horseshoe Canyon, Stove Canyon, and Trujillo Canyon.

Water remains a critical element in this arid environment, marked by several essential water sources including Garcia Spring, Poor Farm Spring, and Hot Springs. Cultural footprints are sparse but significant, primarily represented by Eagle Creek Rd and prospects indicated by names like Gold Gulch and Silver Basin. This survey provides a look at the Graham County backcountry before the modern expansion of infrastructure.
