About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, where the Huachuca Mountains rise toward the Huachuca Peak quadrangle boundary. This 1996 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its extractive history and military presence, featuring a high density of mining sites such as the Hamburg Mine, Pomona Mine, and the Reef Mine in the southern reaches of the Coronado National Forest.

Evidence of early ranching and water management is scattered throughout the canyons, with the Barchas Ranch, Richards Ranch, and Broken Arrow Ranch marking historical property lines. Notable terrain features like Miller Peak, Carr Peak, and Ramsey Peak are connected by a network of drainage systems including Garden Canyon and Miller Canyon. The map records specific historical infrastructure like the Lutz Tunnel and several Adits, providing a detailed look at the area's subterranean exploration and development.
