About this map

The Pinaleno Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Coronado National Forest, where the settlement of Turkey Flat marks a pocket of human activity amidst the canyons. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward prominent summits like Mount Graham and Heliograph Peak. This area is characterized by a sophisticated early water management system, evidenced by the Lebanon Ditch and Lebanon Reservoir Number One in the northeast.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, ranging from the High Peak Cienega near the peaks to numerous namesake springs like Heliograph Spring and Twilight Spring. The map documents a network of drainages and canyons, including the significant Marijilda Canyon and Swift Canyon, which channel seasonal flow from the heights toward the basin. Notable landmarks such as Eagle Rock and Hagens Point provide fixed orientation points for those navigating the ridge-lines and flats like Snow Flat and Adams Flat.
