2018 Map of Shingle Mill Mountain

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Pinaleno Mountains rise above the high desert floor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Matthews Wash, Cottonwood Creek, and Middle Wash, which carve through deep formations like Wide Mouth Canyon and North Taylor Canyon. This modern survey illustrates the vital importance of water management in an arid environment, documenting a high concentration of stock tanks and springs such as Bear Springs, Coyote Tank, and Green Spring. Cultural landmarks like the Flying J Ranch Airport and naming conventions such as Dead Steer Mesa reflect the region's enduring ranching identity. Transportation follows natural contours, with Tripp Canyon Rd and Nuttall Canyon Rd providing access into the more secluded mountain canyons.
