About this map

Coronado National Forest and the heights of Mount Fagan dominate the southwestern portion of this landscape, where mining and ranching legacies intersect. The terrain is marked by numerous resource extraction sites, including the Cuprite Mine, Dimple Mine, and Pauline Mine, alongside several quarries. This industrial footprint contrasts with long-established cattle operations like the Andrada Ranch and Hilton Ranch.

Water management is central to life in these desert foothills, evidenced by an extensive network of namesake catchments such as Cemetery Tank, Duck Tank, and Blacktail Tank. These vital points, along with Mulberry Springs and Davidson Spring, supported the area's movement and industry before modern development. In the north, the presence of a Us Mil Res and a Missile Tank reflects the Cold War-era military infrastructure integrated into the Arizona landscape.
