2018 Map of Mescal

About this map

Mescal and the neighboring residential area of Pimaco Two anchor this portion of the Arizona landscape, where high-desert ranch roads and a burgeoning grid of rural streets meet the open terrain of the Coronado National Forest. The map captures the interface between modern development and the enduring physical geography of the Whetstone Mountains. Numerous water sources, such as Little Nogales Spring, Silver Spring, and Nogales Spring, indicate the historical importance of local hydrology for both livestock and early settlement. To the east, the edge of Benson appears alongside prominent landmarks like Haystack Mtn and Easter Mtn. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages including Mescal Arroyo and Cadillac Wash, while named canyons like Cherry Canyon and Anderson Canyon carve through the southern uplands, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the San Pedro Valley watershed.
