2011 Map of Lone Star Mountain

About this map

Lone Star Mountain and the deep drainage of Tidwell Wash anchor this portion of Graham County, revealing a high-desert landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and mineral access. The presence of Boggs Ranch and numerous water catchments like Rattlesnake Tank and Don Tank highlight the necessity of water management in the arid terrain. The mapping of San Juan Mine Rd and Solomon Pass Rd illustrates the historical transportation corridors used to traverse the difficult geography near Solomon Pass and Burro Saddle. Along the eastern edge, the confluence of drainage systems leading toward the Gila River is marked by deep cuts such as Sycamore Canyon and Black Canyon. The network of springs, including Cottonwood Spring and Red Tanks Spring, underscores the critical natural resources that supported early transit and land use in this rugged sector of Arizona.
