About this map

The Rincon Mountains dominate this 1990s topographic landscape, where high peaks and desert canyons converge within the Saguaro National Park and Coronado National Forest. This era of mapping shows a complex network of water sources essential to the arid environment, including Lion Spring, Papago Spring, and Coyote Spring. The transition from the rugged mountain wilderness to the Rincon Valley is marked by the course of Agua Verde Creek and the southern Cienega Creek.

Cultural landmarks and small-scale infrastructure are scattered throughout, such as the Rancho Del Cielo and La Sevilla Picnic Area. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves specific points of interest like Charles Well, Coyote Well, and numerous Claypit sites near Pantano Road, reflecting the area's rural land use and limited water-dependent settlements before further modern development.
