About this map

Pedregosa Mountains slopes dominate the northwestern corner of this territory, where an Old Railroad Grade cuts a straight line through the high desert. This corridor traces the historical transportation infrastructure of Cochise County, running parallel to the drainage systems of Danger Wash and Deadmans Wash. The landscape is defined by the transition from these foothills into the broad San Bernardino Valley, a region shaped by ephemeral watercourses including Silver Creek and Indian Creek.

Cinder Hill stands as a prominent volcanic landmark near the center of the sheet, adjacent to a small Gravel Pit that indicates local industrial use. The drainage network is particularly dense in the south, where Wildcat Wash and Black Draw navigate the arid basin. Isolated infrastructure such as a scattered Well and Water Tank highlight the critical nature of water management in this high-elevation Arizona landscape during the late twentieth century.
