About this map

The San Cayetano Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Santa Cruz County, rising to the prominent San Cayetano Peak. This 2018 survey detail shows a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Alto Gulch and Josephine Canyon, which carve through the foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains. A portion of the Coronado National Forest occupies the northeastern corner, where the terrain reaches toward the heights of Mt Shibell.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and land use is found in the naming of Coal Mine Canyon and Coal Mine Spring, while the contemporary residential development is reflected in the dense naming of local roads like Cam Kennedy and Morning Star Dr. The drainage patterns, represented by Mavis Wash and numerous springs like Tejano Spring, illustrate the critical water sources that have shaped human activity in these southern Arizona hills.
