About this map

Santa Teresa Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the Santa Teresa Wilderness and Coronado National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and ridges, notably Pinnacle Ridge and the heights of Jackson Mountain. Human activity is marked by remote outposts like Holladay Ranch and T Hinton Ranch, alongside numerous prospects indicating mineral exploration throughout the hills.

Water sources are vital and varied in this arid environment, with dozens of named springs such as Crows Nest Spring, White Spring, and Fisher Basin Spring dotting the map. To the north, the San Carlos Indian Reservation boundary cuts across the drainage of Goodwin Wash. The map reveals a reliance on ancient paths and remote access, shown through several designated trails and a pack trail that navigate the steep breaks between Holdout Mesa and the surrounding basins.
