2018 Map of Mount Bigelow

About this map

Coronado National Forest defines the geography of this high-elevation landscape, where the Santa Catalina Mountains rise toward the summit of Mt Bigelow. The settlement at Soldier Camp serves as a focal point for the area, situated near Bear Wallow and the high ridges of Oracle Ridge. This environment is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, documented through features like Palisade Rock and Lombar Hill. Water sources are critical in this arid montane terrain, marked by numerous tanks and springs such as Ventana Tank, Juanito Spring, and Eagle Spring. The inclusion of the Arizona National Scenic Trail highlights the region's importance for transit and exploration along the crest. A network of canyons, including Edgar Canyon and Diablo Canyon, drains the massif, illustrating the complex erosional patterns that have shaped these peaks.
