1997 Map of Coyote Hills

About this map

Coyote Hills dominates the topography of this section of the Apache National Forest in Apache County, where the high-country landscape is defined by its water sources and grazing infrastructure. The settlement of Coyote and the nearby Coyote Ranch are situated along the drainage of Coyote Creek, which winds through the central terrain. Further south, the map reveals the northern edge of Round Valley, where Nutrioso Creek cuts across the land. The presence of numerous labeled corrals and vital water points like Horseshoe Spring and Coyote Spring suggests a landscape heavily utilized for livestock and ranching. Small-scale industrial activity is also evident through the Gravel Pit and Cinder Pit, which are characteristic of the region's geological and development history at the end of the 20th century.
