About this map

The Huachuca Mountains dominate this 2014 survey, rising steeply above the expanding suburbs of Sierra Vista and Sierra Vista Southeast. The high-elevation terrain is preserved within the Coronado National Forest, where the Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses a ridgeline connecting several major summits, including Miller Peak, Carr Peak, and Pat Scott Peak. This landscape reflects a juxtaposition of residential growth along the eastern valley floor and rugged wilderness preservation to the west.

Local history is etched into the canyons, from the early mining activity indicated by Scheelite Ridge to the established settlements at Bledsoe and Ramsey. Numerous water sources, such as Miller Spring and Cave Spring, dot the canyons, underscoring the vital role of riparian corridors in this arid environment. The map also captures modern recreational developments like the Garden Canyon Linear Park Trail, showing how the community interacts with the foothills of the Huachucas.
