2018 Map of Harshaw

About this map

Harshaw and Trench Camp anchor this survey of the rugged highlands southeast of Patagonia, documenting a landscape defined by its mining heritage and seasonal water sources within the Coronado National Forest. The Patagonia Mountains dominate the western portion of the sheet, where peaks like American Peak rise above deep drainages such as Flux Canyon and Alum Gulch. The settlement pattern follows these natural corridors, with Harshaw Creek providing a lifeline through the center of the terrain. To the south, Washington Camp sits near the head of Washington Gulch, marking another cluster of human activity in this mineral-rich environment. The eastern half of the map transitions into the broader expanse of Meadow Valley, where numerous cattle tanks and springs—including Mowry Wash, Chino Tank, and Grennan Tank—illustrate the essential infrastructure for ranching in the arid Arizona borderlands.
