About this map

Moraga Ranch and Harmon Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this post-war ranching territory, where cattle operations are interspersed with the winding canyons of the Coronado National Forest. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor parallels Sonoita Creek, passing through Crittenden and by a vital Water Tank that supported steam-era transport. Family names are etched across the terrain at Stevens Ranch, Seibold Ranch, and Bergier Ranch, indicating the distributed settlement pattern of the Arizona backcountry. Topographic details reveal the transition from the Canelo Hills to the drainage of Harshaw Creek, with signs of the region's extractive history at the Dunham Mine. A Cem and a remote Ranger Station highlight the essential infrastructure of this mid-century high-desert environment.
