About this map

Pinaleno Mountains and Kane Spring Mountain dominate this corner of the Coronado National Forest during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water sources including Alder Spring, Trap Spring, and Kane Spring, which support the remote operations of the C N Ranch and Jernigan Ranch. This topography highlights the transition from the high peaks of Ladybug Peak down through Stockton Pass, where a public Picnic Area sits along the primary route through the range.

Evidence of small-scale resource management and early recreation is visible in features like the Righthand Dam and the Gillespie Jeep Trail. Numerous washes and canyons, such as Bear Canyon and Martin Wash, carve the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage system of the desert mountains. These details provide a clear picture of land use in this part of Graham County before modern developments altered many of these backcountry access points.
