About this map

Sombrero Butte rises above a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-desert drainage systems in this 2014 Arizona survey. This section of the Coronado National Forest spans the boundary of Pinal and Graham Counties, where the Galiuro Mountains dominate the eastern half of the map. The terrain is deeply incised by canyons such as Pipestem Canyon and Mailbox Canyon, creating a complex network of washes and seasonal water sources.

Water security in this arid environment is documented through numerous named springs and livestock improvements, such as Whiting Spring, Scanlon Spring, and Fourmile Tank. High points like Rhodes Peak and Biscuit Peak serve as primary landmarks for navigating the rugged topography. This map preserves the locations of vital desert resources and historical land divisions, including the boundaries of several townships such as t8s r18e and t9s r19e.
