About this map

Little Dragoon Mountains dominate the northwestern horizon of this Cochise County landscape, where the settlement of Johnson sits at the foot of Lime Peak. The area is defined by a network of ranching properties, including Triangle T Ranch, Adams Ranch, and Walker Ranch, connected by rugged desert roads and natural corridors like Texas Summit. To the south, the community of Dragoon serves as a local hub near Dragoon Pass, a significant geographical point for travelers moving through the high desert.

Evidence of the region's deeper history is found at the Dragoon Springs Cem, a site tied to early western transit and settlement. The drainage patterns of Walnut Wash, Dragoon Wash, and Jordan Wash illustrate how the terrain directs seasonal water through the Gunnison Hills and surrounding canyons. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Johnson Road Interchange and Dragoon Interchange, marking the intersection of contemporary travel with these older desert routes.
