2011 Map of Deepwell Ranch

About this map

Deepwell Ranch and Cross X Ranch define the settlement pattern of this desert landscape in Cochise County, where ranching infrastructure persists along the drainage systems of the Tres Alamos Wash. The terrain is characterized by the broad expanse of Allen Flat in the northeast, transitioning into the elevations of the Johnny Lyon Hills to the southwest and the edge of the Little Dragoon Mountains in the southeast. Sparse transportation routes such as 3 Links Rd and Gamez Rd provide the primary access through this arid region. Water management is critical for the local ranching operations, evidenced by the presence of Mesa Tank and Sunnybrook Tank, which capture runoff in an area where seasonal flows like the Palomas Wash shape the geography. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional Arizona cattle country and modern land management at the start of the 2010s.
