About this map

Chiricahua Mountains terrain dominates this 1986 survey of Cochise County, where the high elevations of the Coronado National Forest meet the drainage systems of the arid lowlands. The landscape is defined by a series of deep cuts, most notably Bruno Canyon and its tributaries, North Bruno Canyon and South Bruno Canyon. These features illustrate the complex hydrology of the region, where seasonal runoff flows from high points like Bruno Peak and Bruno Saddle down toward Whitewater Draw.

Landforms such as High Mesa and Box Canyon indicate a rugged, varied topography used primarily for ranching and resource management. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the remote character of this part of Arizona during the mid-1980s, emphasizing natural landmarks and named drainages like Hunt Canyon and Lonesome Canyon as the primary points of orientation for researchers and land managers.
