1972 Map of Webb Peak

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Pinaleno Mountains is captured here as it appeared in the early 1970s, dominated by the peaks and drainages within the Coronado National Forest. This survey highlights the complex topography of the range, including prominent summits like Webb Peak, Clark Peak, and Merrill Peak. The presence of the Fort Grant (State Industrial School) and its associated Military Reservation Boundary at the base of the mountains indicates a long history of government and institutional land use in this corner of Graham County. Recreation and infrastructure are evident throughout the high country, from the Riggs Flat Recreation Area and Soldier Creek Campground to the Lookout Tower and Mt Graham Heli Site. The map traces a network of trails and roads, most notably the Swift Trail, which winds past remote outposts like Old Columbine and the Work Center, connecting various springs and mountain flats.
