2021 Map of Mitchell Peak

About this map

Apache National Forest defines the rugged verticality of this Greenlee County landscape, where deep drainages like Pigeon Canyon and Woods Canyon slice through the high country. Rising above the complex network of trails and springs is Mitchell Peak, a prominent landmark for early travelers and forest rangers alike. The map reveals a history of land use etched into the terrain, from the legacy of mineral exploration evidenced by names like Placer Gulch and Copper King Mtn to the essential water sources scattered across the dry heights, such as Don Smith Spring and Roughout Spring. Extensive trail systems including the Coronado Trl and Pigeon Trl connect these remote points, providing a detailed look at the backcountry infrastructure maintained within the forest's boundaries.
