1972 Map of Harrison Canyon

About this map

The Coronado National Forest dominates the western landscape of this Graham County region, where the Galiuro Mountains give way to a network of high desert canyons. The intricate drainage systems of Aravaipa Creek, Black Canyon, and Harrison Canyon reveal a geography defined by its water management. Dozens of ranching and livestock features appear throughout the terrain, including the McGee Windmill, Rincon Dam, and several named water tanks such as Hurry Up Tank and Little Bull Tank. The presence of a Corral and numerous well sites suggests a focused history of open-range grazing and land use during the early 1970s. Navigational markers like the Sunset Loop and various jeep trails provide insight into the transit patterns through the Black Hills and toward Baker Hill at the southern edge.
