2021 Map of Mount Hughes

About this map

Patagonia serves as the primary settlement hub on this recent survey, situated at the confluence of several canyon drainages and historic trails. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation peaks of the Coronado National Forest, including the prominent Mt Hughes, Indian Head Mtn, and the volcanic profile of Red Mtn. Modern recreation and conservation are evident through the path of the Arizona National Scenic Trl, which winds through a complex topography of canyons such as Stevens Canyon and Lampshire Canyon. The drainage network, led by Sonoita Cr and Harshaw Cr, is dotted with critical water points like Bat Cave Tank and Gunther Tank, reflecting the arid environmental constraints of the region. This survey captures the intersection of traditional ranching road networks, like Rail X Ranch Dr, with established forest boundaries and protected wilderness areas.
