About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Santa Catalina Mountains, where the 2021 topography reveals a complex network of springs, washes, and trails. The settlement of Soldier Camp stands as a focal point among the peaks, situated near the headwaters of Crystal Spring Trl and the prominent Butterfly Peak. This area is defined by its verticality, transitioning from the lower reaches of Stratton Wash and Geesaman Wash to the summits of Mt Bigelow and Green Mtn.

Resource utilization and recreation are evident through features like Iron Spring and various camps, including Boy Scout Spring and Girl Scout Spring. The map documents a rugged interior accessible via the Arizona National Scenic Trl and Incinerator Ridge Trl, connecting landmarks such as Palisade Rock and Lizard Rock. The naming conventions of water sources, from Doctor Spring to Orchard Spring, hint at the diverse history of land use in this Pima County highlands region.
