2021 Map of Mescal
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Mescal and Pimaco Two anchor this desert landscape at the edge of the Whetstone Mountains and the Coronado National Forest. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential corridors near Mescal to the high desert terrain of the southern reaches, where elevation rises toward Haystack Mtn and Twin Buttes. This region is defined by its drainage systems, with Mescal Arroyo and Cadillac Wash cutting through the arid flats. Water sources remain critical landmarks for local history and land use, evidenced by named features like Wakefield Spring, Lower Walkerfield Spring, and Bill Williams Tank. The presence of the Benson boundary at the eastern edge indicates the proximity of that historic railroad hub, while the rugged southern terrain is marked by remote canyons such as Wakefield Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon.
