About this map

Cinder Hill stands as a prominent landmark within the San Bernardino Valley, a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage networks and volcanic topography. This territory in southeastern Arizona is carved by numerous ephemeral watercourses, including the north-south flow of Indian Cr and the extensive reach of Hackberry Wash. The northwestern corner of the quadrangle transitions into the foothills of the Pedregosa Mountains, where the elevation rises and the terrain becomes more broken.

Resource management in this arid environment is evidenced by a series of named water catchments such as Moore Tank, Silo Tank, and Mormon Tank, which supported the region's ranching economy. The presence of Az-80 provides the primary transit artery through the valley, following the natural contours of the land. In the south, Black Draw and Wildcat Wash further illustrate the intricate watershed that characterizes this section of Cochise County, where seasonal water flow has historically dictated settlement and land use patterns.
