1996 Map of The Mesas

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Mesas and the high desert divides of the Winchester Mountains dominate this 1996 survey of the southeastern Arizona borderlands. The landscape is defined by its hydrological network, where seasonal drainages like Ash Creek and Brush Creek cut through the steep topography of the Coronado National Forest. This era of the late twentieth century shows a region primarily managed for conservation and wilderness, with the Galiuro Wilderness and Redfield Canyon Wilderness preserving the primitive character of the terrain. Human presence is sparse but historically significant, marked by a lone Cem and scattered mineral exploration at a Prospect. Long-standing water sources like Eagle Tanks, Whalen Tank, and Double R Spring indicate the essential infrastructure required for ranching and survival in this arid environment along the Graham and Cochise county line.
