Dragoon National Forest
Dragoon National Forest was established in Arizona on May 25, 1907, with 69,120 acres (280 km2). On July 1, 1908, it was combined with Santa Catalina National Forest and Santa Rita National Forest to create Coronado National Forest. The name was discontinued.[1]
The forest included the Dragoon and Little Dragoon Mountains, two of the Madrean Sky Islands. The area is included in the Douglas Ranger District of Coronado National Forest.[2]
