About this map

The high peaks of the Santa Rita Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Coronado National Forest. This 2021 survey details a complex network of recreational and historical routes, including the Quantrell Mine Trl and Elephant Head Trl, which navigate the steep drainage systems of the Pima and Santa Cruz county line. The map highlights significant water sources essential to this arid environment, such as Chino Spring, Agua Caliente Spring, and the man-made Ocotillo Tank.

Topographical landmarks like the massive granite dome of Elephant Head and the high summit of Mt Hopkins provide clear orientation for the region's steep basins. Named features such as Sheehy Canyon and Yoas Mtn reflect the area's history of ranching and mining. From the floor of Madera Canyon to the ridgeline of Tia Juana Ridge, the map documents a terrain defined by deep canyons and seasonal washes.
