2014 Map of Mescal

About this map

Mescal and Pimaco Two sit at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned along a major transit corridor where modern roads follow the established paths of the Mescal Arroyo. The settlement patterns here show a transition from the structured residential roads of Mescal, such as W Meadowlark Ln and W Rice Rd, into the protected wilderness of the Coronado National Forest. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Whetstone Mountains, a land marked by prominent peaks like Haystack Mtn and Easter Mtn. This area is defined by its water sources, which were critical for ranching and survival in the arid environment. A network of springs and tanks, including Wakefield Spring, Nogales Spring, and Bill Williams Tank, are scattered through the canyons, providing a map for those tracing historical land use and early Arizona water rights.
