2021 Map of Little Wood Canyon

About this map

Chiricahua Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, rising sharply within the Coronado National Forest. This high-desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the prominent Little Wood Canyon and Wood Canyon, alongside the winding paths of Emigrant Canyon and Marble Canyon. The importance of water management in this arid region is evident through named features like Government Tank, Roosevelt Tank, and the secluded Little Wood Spring at the base of the mountains. Transportation into the high country is marked by rugged routes such as Wood Canyon Rd and the Emigrant Canyon Trl, which navigate the steep elevations near Wood Mtn and the distinct peak of Rattlesnake Point. The map illustrates a transitional zone where high-country peaks meet the lower basin, reflecting the remote ranching and forest management character of Cochise County.
