1996 Map of Galleta Flat West

About this map

Coronado National Forest and the eastern edge of the Saguaro National Park define this arid landscape along the Pima and Cochise County line. The terrain is marked by dramatic elevation changes rising toward North Star Peak in the Little Rincon Mountains, where numerous seasonal water sources like Bear Spring and Canoa Spring suggest the traditional importance of water management in the desert. Lowland areas reveal a pattern of ranching and remote settlement, notably at Mackenzie Ranch and Ashrama Ranch. The presence of the White Cross Cem near Agua Verde Creek provides a specific point of interest for genealogists, while several labeled Prospects in the eastern foothills point to historic mineral exploration. Drainage systems like Cumaro Canyon and Pacheco Wash carve through the foothills, illustrating the complex alluvial geography of the Galleta Flat Wash basin.
