About this map

The Luis Maria Baca Float No 3 boundary dominates this topographic survey of the Arizona borderlands, illustrating a landscape defined by historic Spanish land grants and mining interests. Centered on the San Cayetano Mountains, the map details a region of dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of San Cayetano Peak and Mt Shibell down into the winding reaches of Josephine Canyon and Fresno Canyon.

Evidence of early ranching and extraction is scattered throughout the terrain, including Salero Ranch and the Tubutama Mine. The presence of several springs and water sources like Tejano Spring and Sheuy Well highlights the vital infrastructure required for habitation in this arid environment. To the northeast, the map covers a portion of the Coronado National Forest and the southern slopes of the Santa Rita Mountains, where a small Cem and Radio Facility indicate localized pockets of development amidst the rugged backcountry.
