About this map

The Apache National Forest and the eastern boundary of the San Carlos Indian Reservation define this high-altitude landscape in Greenlee County. Centered on the rugged rise of Coronado Mountain and Coronado Ridge, the map detail focuses on the complex drainage systems of Tule Creek, Butcherknife Creek, and Fifteenmile Canyon. Human presence is marked primarily by water management and resource exploration, including numerous cattle tanks such as Willow Tank and Birkner Tank, and the Crystal Cave Prospect near the eastern margin.

Transport is limited to primitive routes like the Whitewater Trail, which navigates the steep grades between Juniper Flat and the Painted Bluffs. The map documents a specialized wilderness economy, where the Granville Recreation Site and various named springs, including Sawmill Spring and Webster Spring, provided essential stops for foresters and early recreationists navigating the high ridges between Enebro Mountain and Table Mountain.
