About this map

The Santa Teresa Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of Graham County, defining a complex landscape of drainages and high-desert relief within the Coronado National Forest. This section of the range is characterized by a network of seasonal washes and canyons, including Goodwin Wash and Black Rock Wash to the north, which serve as primary conduits for water moving through the arid terrain. The map documents numerous isolated water sources critical to local ecology and historical land use, such as Crows Nest Spring, Kane Spring, and Preacher Spring.

Prominent summits like Jackson Mountain and Cobre Grande Peak anchor the topography, while geological features such as The Box and Pinnacle Ridge provide distinct navigational landmarks. Settlement indicators are sparse, primarily limited to Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-40 and Bia-64 that skirt the northern edges of the forest boundary. The arrangement of springs and canyons like Fisher Canyon and Sycamore Canyon suggests a long history of water management in a region where reliable moisture is the most valuable resource.
