2018 Map of Pena Blanca Lake

About this map

The Coronado National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape in southern Arizona, where the Tumacacori Mountains and Atascosa Mountains meet near the international border. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by a complex network of canyons and peaks, anchored by the prominent Castle Rock and the elevations of the Pajarito Mountains. The map provides an intricate look at the water-management infrastructure vital to this arid environment, naming numerous livestock tanks such as Wolf Canyon Tank, Buckshot Tank, and H Six Tank. While the southwestern portion remains largely undeveloped forest land, the northeastern corner shows a growing network of residential roads including Cll Cherokee and Cll Tubutana near the Agua Fria Canyon. Historical travel routes like the Ruby-Nogales Rd wind through Bellota Canyon, connecting isolated springs like Bellota Spring and Rock Water Spring across the drainage systems of Pena Blanca Canyon.
