About this map

The Huachuca Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain where the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico bisects the landscape. This 2004 revision details the overlapping jurisdictions of the Miller Peak Wilderness, Coronado National Forest, and the Coronado National Memorial. The mapping reflects a complex geography of resource extraction and conservation, specifically noting the State of Texas Mine and the Modern Mine amidst numerous scattered prospects.

Water remains the critical factor in this arid environment, evidenced by named sources like Yaqui Spring, Oak Spring, and Eighty Spring. Connectivity across the steep slopes is provided by the Miller Peak Trail and Joe's Canyon Trail, which converge near Montezuma Pass. South of the border, the land transitions into a series of deep drainages such as Arroyo el Tule and Arroyo el Nogalar, radiating from prominent peaks like Cerro Agua Dulce.
