2018 Map of Doubtful Canyon

About this map

Giddings Grave marks a lonely point of historical interest along the borderlands of Arizona and New Mexico, situated near the northern edge of the Peloncillo Mountains. This desert landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where the Steins Peak Range rises sharply toward Steins Peak. The map details the complex drainage systems and canyons that carved this terrain, including the namesake Doubtful Canyon and its neighbor, Little Doubtful Canyon. Water remains a vital element of the geography, recorded here through isolated sources like Ward Spring, Canteen Spring, and man-made cattle watering points such as Dean Tank and McKenzie Tank. The network of primitive roads, including Volcano Mine Rd and Doubtful Canyon Rd, suggests a history of local mineral exploration and ranching access across the Roostercomb and through Volcano Draw.
