1979 Map of Monk Draw

About this map

Ten Ranch and Monk Ranch sit at the desert-mountain interface where the Pinaleno Mountains give way to the expansive drainage systems of the San Pedro Valley. This 1970s landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a network of vital sources such as Sycamore Spring, Whisky Spring, and WA Well. The terrain is deeply incised by major ephemeral watercourses like Monk Draw and Owl Wash, reflecting the hydrological patterns of southeastern Arizona. Transportation through this remote section of the Coronado National Forest is limited to utility-focused infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and rugged routes like the Canyon Trail. The presence of small-scale prospects near Willow Canyon hints at the region's mineral exploration history, while the established ranch sites provide key genealogical anchors for the Graham and Cochise county borderlands.
