1985 Map of Cochise

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Cochise sits at the northern end of a valley where the steel of the Southern Pacific railroad meets a landscape of military activity and natural basins. The town's infrastructure, including prominent Storage Bins, reflects its role as a shipping point along the rail line during the mid-1980s. To the east, the vast Willcox Playa Lake and the Willcox Bombing Range define a flat, alkaline expanse restricted for military use, while the western horizon is dominated by the Dragoon Mountains and Dragoon Peak. This environment is a study in contrasts between the high-elevation slopes of the Coronado National Forest and the desert floor drainage patterns of Walnut Wash and Big Draw. The presence of several Wells and a pervasive Pipeline network highlights the ongoing management of water and energy resources across this arid terrain.
