2021 Map of Gillespie Mountain

About this map

Gillespie Mtn dominates this portion of southeastern Arizona, serving as a prominent landmark within the Coronado National Forest. This high-desert landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management system of named tanks and catchments, reflecting the region's reliance on intermittent water sources for ranching and local utility. Features like Rock Tank, Wash Tank, and Oak Canyon Tank are positioned along complex drainage networks such as Stockton Pass Wash and Dutch Henry Canyon. The presence of P Ranch Canyon suggests a history of land use tied to territorial ranching traditions. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a series of named draws and washes, including Oak Draw and W A Wash, illustrating how the dry topography dictates the placement of trails and rural infrastructure in this section of Graham County.
