2014 Map of Eureka Ranch

About this map

Eureka Ranch serves as a central landmark in this remote corner of Graham County, where the high desert terrain is carved by the deep drainage of Aravaipa Creek. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape of isolated canyons and family burial grounds, including Whalen Cem, Johns Cem, and Kennedy Cem, which point to a long history of cattle ranching and homesteading. To the south, the Black Hills rise near Eureka Mtn, with much of the land falling within the protected bounds of the Coronado National Forest. The map is characterized by a dense network of primitive roads and named trails, such as W Four Feathers Loop and S Red Cloud Trl, that navigate the complex topography of Black Canyon and President Canyon. The seasonal nature of the environment is reflected in features like Walnut Spring and Mills Tank, which are vital water sources in this arid region.
