About this map

The Coronado National Forest defines the southern expanse of this Santa Cruz County landscape, where the Canelo Hills and numerous steep drainages like O'Donnell Canyon and Pauline Canyon converge. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its water management and transit routes, with the Arizona National Scenic Trail winding through the southern ridges and passing near Canelo Pass.

Evidence of local history and ranching infrastructure is scattered throughout the terrain, from the Black Oak Cem near Cemetery Tank to the small settlement of Canelo on the eastern edge. The map captures a complex system of livestock tanks, such as Pinto Tank, Red Tanks, and Lampshire Tank, which are essential to the high-desert economy. To the north, residential development is visible along Longview Loop and Hillcrest Dr, contrasting with the more primitive tracks like Research Ranch Rd and Research Rd further east.
