About this map

Cazador and Poverty Flat sit at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where the transition from flat basins to steep mountain terrain is sharply defined. The Perilla Mountains dominate the central portion of the sheet, culminating at the prominent summits of College Peaks, which include both North College Peak and South College Peak. This rugged uplift is flanked by the Pedregosa Mountains to the northeast, creating a complex series of ridges and drainages.

Water resources in this arid environment are marked by features like Bass Tank and the seasonal flows of Wildcat Wash. Local geography is further defined by Saddle Gap and the presence of Lower Tincup Spring and Upper Tincup Spring within the interior canyons. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Circle H Ranch Airport, serving the remote ranching and residential areas that utilize the grid of local roads such as N Cazador Trl and Catador Trl.
