2018 Map of Swede Peak

About this map

Coronado National Forest lands dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 2010s, where the eastern slopes of the Chiricahua Mountains descend toward the San Simon Valley and San Bernardino Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including Rustler Canyon, Box Canyon, and Tex Canyon, which cut through elevations marked by Swede Peak and Limestone Mtn. This arid environment relies on scattered water sources, often identified by names like High Lonesome Spring and Cottonwood Spring, or artificial catchments such as Sunset Tank, Upper Tex Tank, and Juniper Tree Tank. The mapping shows a remote area primarily accessible via E Rucker Canyon Rd, illustrating the intersection of protected forest lands and the open valley floor in Cochise County.
