About this map

The Coronado National Forest dominates this section of Graham County, where the high-elevation terrain of the Pinaleno Mountains gives way to a complex network of canyons and washes. Evidence of historical land use for ranching and resource management is found in the numerous named water sources, such as Indian Spring and the Two Troughs Spring Tank, which supported livestock and travelers in this arid environment. Significant geographic landmarks including Cedar Mtn and Johns Canyon Ridge provide a clear view of the mountain range's northern foothills.

Industrial and forestry history is indicated by the presence of Sawmill Canyon and the Sawmill Water Storage Tank, suggesting early timber operations. These remote corridors, including Tripp Canyon and Underwood Canyon, are intersected by routes like W Klondyke Rd, reflecting the sparse but necessary transportation infrastructure of the high desert. The map captures the specialized hydrology of the region through features like Ladrone Tank and the seasonal flows of Cottonwood Cr.
