About this map

Dehorn sits in a high-elevation landscape defined by complex drainage networks and volcanic prominent points in Gila County. The namesake Chiricahua Butte rises sharply in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a significant landmark for the surrounding territory. Water access in this arid environment is clearly delineated through a series of named catchments and natural sources, including Blue River Spring, White Tail Spring, and Hospital Tank.

The presence of Turkey Cr and its associated Turkey Roost Tank suggests the importance of water management for local wildlife or livestock in the early 21st century. High-altitude canyons such as White Cow Canyon and Rocky Gulch cut through the terrain, while the course of the Blue River winds through the western sections. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the Dehorn Rd to the more specialized Hilltop Point of Pines Rd, illustrating the remote nature of this Arizona upland.
