2020 Map of Guadalupe Spring

About this map

The Coronado National Forest straddles the rugged boundary line between Cochise County, Arizona, and Hidalgo County, New Mexico. This high-desert landscape is defined by the Peloncillo Mountains, where landmarks like Bunk Robinson Peak and Outlaw Mtn rise above a network of canyons and washes. The historical footprint of the region is traced by the Geronimo Trl, while local genealogy is grounded at the Cottonwood Creek Cem in the western reaches. Water is the primary driver of the landscape's character, with named points such as Maverick Spring, Cedar Spring, and Pickhandle Tank punctuating the arid terrain. The map documents an intricate system of drainages, including Sycamore Cr and Miller Cr, that carve through the Pickhandle Hills and Guadalupe Canyon, illustrating the challenging topography of the southwestern borderlands.
