1994 Map of Chiricahua Peak

About this map

The Chiricahua Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Cochise County survey, their high ridges sheltered within the Chiricahua Wilderness and Coronado National Forest. This region shows a transition from the elevated peaks of the Chiricahua National Monument to the broad drainage basins of the Sulphur Springs Valley and the San Simon Valley. Settlement is concentrated along transport corridors like Highway 191 and the Southern Pacific railroad line, connecting small communities such as Sunsites, Pearce, and Elfrida.
