About this map

The Pinaleno Mountains dominate this high-elevation survey of Graham County, centered on the summit of Webb Peak and its Lookout Tower. The landscape of the Coronado National Forest is defined by a dense network of water sources and recreational sites, from Riggs Lake and the Riggs Flat Recreation Area to more remote locations like Ash Creek Falls and Emerald Spring. Evidence of early industry and infrastructure remains visible at the Mt Graham Mill Site and the ruins of Carter Sawmill.

In the lower elevations, the transition from forest to institutional use is marked by Fort Grant, situated along the Military Reservation Boundary. The presence of the Arizona Bible Sch and the settlement at Old Columbine indicates a established community presence in the 1970s. Researchers can trace the path of the Old Military Road and numerous pack trails that provide access through deep canyons such as Nuttall Canyon and Lefthand Canyon.
