1986 Map of Swede Peak

About this map

Chiricahua Mountains terrain dominates this 1986 survey, where the high ridges of the Coronado National Forest descend into the broad reaches of the San Simon Valley and San Bernardino Valley. The map highlights a remote landscape structured by deep drainage systems such as Tex Canyon, Rustler Canyon, and Price Canyon. Within the protected Chiricahua Wilderness, landmarks like Swede Peak and Sunset Peak provide vertical orientation for a region defined by its scarce water sources. Notable life-sustaining points include Cottonwood Corral Spring and High Lonesome Spring, the latter situated near the prominent Lonesome Ridge. This provisional edition records the footpaths and unimproved roads used by ranchers and hikers before modern digital mapping, preserving the specific nomenclature of the canyons and gulches that define this portion of Cochise County.
