2012 Map of Bruno Peak

About this map

Bruno Canyon and its many tributaries dominate this remote corner of Cochise County, where the landscape is defined by high desert ranching and rugged topography. The presence of the Rucker Cem near the intersection of Rucker Canyon Rd and Leslie Canyon Rd points to the early settlement of the area, providing a key landmark for genealogical research. Scattered across the drainage basins of North Bruno Canyon and South Bruno Canyon are numerous water tanks, including Winkler Tank and Willcox Tank, essential for sustaining the local ranching operations. Named outposts such as OK Ranch, J Bar A Ranch, and Bar Boot Ranch illustrate the traditional land use that persists here. Rising above these canyons is Bruno Peak and the adjacent Bruno Saddle, landmarks that have long served as navigational markers in this arid environment.
