About this map

Dos Cabezas anchors this Cochise County landscape, sitting at the base of the dramatic Dos Cabezas Mountains where the high desert meets steep mountain terrain. The map details a complex network of canyons and gulches, such as Mascot Canyon and Philadelphia Canyon, which historically pointed to the region's mining interests. These industrial roots are further suggested by the presence of Mason Mine Rd and the Iron Tower landmark.

Water management is central to life in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous named sources like Cienega Spring, Tunnel Spring, and the Dos Cabezas Catchment. Transportation corridors follow both modern and historic paths, including Az-186 and roads with evocative names like S Butterfield Rd and E Stagecoach Rd, which trace the movement of people and goods across the valley floor beneath Cooper Peak.
