2011 Map of Holy Joe Peak

About this map

Holy Joe Peak rises as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Pinal County, where seasonal drainage systems and remote ranching outposts define the terrain. The northern reaches are characterized by the flow of Aravaipa Creek, flanked by Aravaipa Farms and Mounterest Ranch. A network of unpaved corridors, including Reese Ranch Rd and the rugged Rug Rd, connect isolated locations such as Blake Place and Reese Ranch. The map reveals a complex topography of named canyons and ridges, from the deep cuts of Skeleton Canyon and Holy Joe Canyon to the prominent heights of Satathite Mountain and Martinez Mountain. These features indicate a landscape shaped by both cattle ranching and historical transit, with cattle-working sites like Dry Camp and Horse Camp situated near ephemeral water sources like Zapata Wash and Buzzard Roost Spring.
