About this map

The San Bernardino Valley landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems and volcanic topography, captured here in the early twenty-first century. Dominating the central terrain is Cinder Hill, a prominent volcanic feature surrounded by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses. These desert washes, including Deadmans Wash, Hackberry Wash, and Wildcat Wash, dictate the movement of water and travelers across this part of Cochise County.

Evidence of ranching and land management is scattered across the township lines, notably through a series of water catchment features such as Silo Tank, Teaque Tank, and Moore Tank. In the northwest, the edge of the Pedregosa Mountains provides a stark elevation contrast to the valley floor. The primary thoroughfare through this remote reach is Silver Creek Rd, which tracks past Silver Cr as it navigates the terrain between the mountains and the valley's southern reaches near Black Draw.
