About this map

Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where deep canyons like Woodcutters Canyon and Garden Canyon carve into the high ridges. This 1958 survey, revised with mid-1970s data, reveals an area defined by mountain extraction and isolated ranching outposts. The steep slopes of the Coronado National Forest are marked by a significant mining history, including the Reef Mine and its associated tramway, as well as the Wakefield Mine near Wakefield Camp.

Evidence of early water management and transportation is visible through features like the Aqueduct in Aqueduct Canyon and numerous jeep trails navigating the terrain. Local genealogy and land use are anchored by family names on Barchas Ranch, Richards Ranch, and the D'Albini Ranch. From the high point of Miller Peak down to the remote Copper Glance Mine, the map documents the transition from active industrial mining to a landscape of protected forest and military usage.
