About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Graham County region, where the steep elevations of the Pinaleno Mountains rise sharply from the basin floor. This 2014 survey documents a rugged network of drainage systems and isolated watering points essential for ranching and wildlife in the arid Arizona environment. High points like Shingle Mill Mountain and Stowe Knoll overlook a terrain carved by Matthews Wash and Bigler Wash.

Evidence of local land use is seen in features like the Flying J Ranch Airport and various livestock tanks, including Stockpond Tank and Tramline Tank, which appear alongside named topographic landmarks such as Dead Steer Mesa and White Streaks Canyon. The map reveals the intricate water management of the high desert, from the perennial Bear Springs to the seasonal flow of Cottonwood Cr, illustrating how the geography of the Gila Valley foothills is defined by its canyons and knolls.
