1996 Map of Mount Wrightson

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The high ridges of the Santa Rita Mountains dominate this 1990s survey, defined by the towering summits of Mount Wrightson and Josephine Peak. This landscape within the Coronado National Forest preserves a significant record of Arizona's mining history, with shafts and claims scattered across the steep drainage basins. Prospectors and geologists can trace a dense network of extraction sites including the Silver King Mine, Connecticut Mine, and the Compadre Shaft. The map also details the recreational and natural water sources of the region, from the Madera Canyon Recreation Trail to isolated points like Bog Springs, Kent Spring, and Bear Spring. The complex network of canyons, such as Florida Canyon and Gardner Canyon, illustrates the difficult terrain that miners and early settlers navigated between the Pima and Santa Cruz County border.
