About this map

Coalson Ranch and several functional livestock corrals such as Maple Corral and Fox Corral anchor this high-desert landscape in Greenlee County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward Maple Peak and Charlie Moore Mountain, while deep drainages like Do Nothing Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon carve through the earth.

A complex network of water sources is critical to this environment, evidenced by the numerous tanks and springs distributed across the mountains and flats, including Hobo Number Three Tank, Wavy Spring, and Suicide Tank. Ranching infrastructure is prevalent, with Smoothing Iron Camp and Smoothing Iron Mesa marking areas of seasonal activity. Access to these remote sites is facilitated by routes like Sunflower Mesa Rd and the Wildbunch Trailhead, reflecting the intersection of livestock management and public land use.
