About this map

Fort Grant and the surrounding high country of the Pinaleno Mountains define this 1970s landscape, where the Coronado National Forest transitions from desert floor to timbered peaks. The map reveals a mountain economy rooted in both historic utility and early recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Arizona Mill Site and the Arizona Bible Sch near the settlement of Old Columbine.

Logistics across the high ridges are anchored by the Swift Trail and the Old Military Road, providing access to critical fire and survey points like the Webb Peak Lookout Tower. Water is the defining resource of the terrain, marked by numerous named points such as Carter Sawmill Spring, Ash Creek Falls, and Riggs Lake. These features, alongside the Soldier Creek Campground and Hospital Flat, showcase the mid-century development of the mountains for public forest use.
