2021 Map of Rincon Peak

About this map

Saguaro National Park and the Coronado National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape, where the Rincon Mountains rise sharply above the Rincon Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the low wash of Pantano Wash and Agua Verde Cr up to the high summits of Rincon Peak and Wrong Mtn. This modern survey documents a network of springs essential to life in the arid environment, including Bear Wallow Spring, Aliso Spring, and Distillery Canyon Spring. Human presence is marked by ranching-era infrastructure such as X9 Ranch Rd and Red Hill Ranch Rd, alongside the preservation of the Arizona National Scenic Trl. The map illustrates the convergence of recreational trails and historic ranch roads within a protected wilderness context.
