About this map

The Coronado National Forest boundary marks the western edge of this desert landscape, where the rugged slopes of the Pinaleno Mountains descend toward the valley floor. This 2021 survey illustrates a region defined by water management and drainage, with numerous ephemeral features like Dial Wash, Owl Wash, and Willow Spring Wash carving through the terrain. The presence of specialized ranching infrastructure, such as Dial Tank, underscores the necessity of water storage in this arid environment.

Crossing the southern section, N Monk Ranch Rd and N Page Ranch Rd provide access to the remote backcountry near the Fisher Hills. The map also captures the political boundary between Graham Co and Cochise Co, which bisects the quadrangle. From the high elevations of Sycamore Canyon to the lower expanse of Monk Draw, the topographic detail reveals a landscape of deep canyons and isolated springs including Whisky Spring and Hackberry Spring.
