About this map

Rawhide Mountain and the surrounding high desert of the Pinal and Graham county line are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. This 2014 survey documents a landscape where water is the primary landmark, from named catchments like Horse Basin Tanks and Lime Tank to isolated water sources such as Red Rooster Spring and Double Troughs Spring. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Squaw Canyon and Willow Spring Canyon, which dictate the movement of both wildlife and livestock across this arid region.

Prominent elevations including Copper Reef Mtn and Little Stanley Butte rise above the canyon floors, providing a clear view of the territorial sections and township lines. The mapping of Beargrass Flat and numerous named canyons like Janis Canyon and Martin Canyon offers an essential record for land management and local history, capturing the geography of the Arizona interior as it existed in the early 21st century.
