1981 Map of Mica Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Rincon Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, captured in the early 1980s when the region was managed as a vast corridor of protected wilderness and forest. The terrain rises sharply from Rincon Creek in the south toward the high peaks of Mica Mountain and Spud Rock. Remote outposts and human presence are few but significant, including the historic high-altitude Manning Camp and the Spud Rock Cabin (Site). The presence of a Grave and a Mine near the southern boundary of the Coronado National Forest points to earlier eras of ranching and prospecting that predated the establishment of the Saguaro Wilderness. Lookout points like the Happy Valley Lookout and the Lookout Tower near the mountain summit emphasize the area's critical role in regional forest fire management.
