About this map

The Huachuca Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. Within the expansive Coronado National Forest, the small settlement of Sunnyside and the nearby Sunnyside Cem represent the primary human imprint in a terrain defined by dramatic peaks and deep canyons. Prominent summits including Huachuca Peak, Lyle Peak, and Peterson Peak overlook a network of seasonal drainages such as Garden Canyon and Parker Canyon.

Tracing the complex topography, the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the Canelo Hills and past Parker Lake. This map reveals a landscape managed for water and recreation, with numerous named catchments like Beckers Folly, Sawtelle Tank, and Inez Tank supporting the region. The map also documents historical routes like the W Coronado Trl and State Hwy 83, providing a clear view of the area's wilderness character and early cattle-ranching infrastructure.
