2018 Map of Rincon Peak

About this map

Saguaro National Park and the Coronado National Forest dominate this arid landscape, where the high elevations of the Rincon Mountains meet the deep drainages of Posta Quemada Canyon and Shaw Canyon. The terrain is defined by dramatic relief, rising from the Rincon Valley up to Rincon Peak and Wrong Mtn. Water remains a central geographic feature in this desert environment, marked by numerous named points including Bear Wallow Spring, Lion Spring, and Coyote Spring. The Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses the western slopes, crossing historical routes like E Old Spanish Trl. The network of local roads such as Rancho Kulvato Rd and E Marsh Station Rd provides a detailed look at the interface between protected federal lands and private ranching interests in Pima County.
