2010 Map of Engine Mountain

About this map

Engine Mountain and Horsefoot Mountain anchor this arid landscape in Cochise County, where isolated ranching outposts have managed the territory into the twenty-first century. High desert drainage patterns are clearly visible, with Horseshoe Wash cutting across the Playas De Los Pinos toward the southern canyons. Local history and land use are centered on the rare water sources found at Indian Spring and Rockhouse Spring, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads like Willow Springs Ranch and Horseshoe Ranch. The road network is sparse, defined by the winding High Lonesome Rd and Indian Springs Rd, reflecting the remote character of this borderland region. A dense system of named draws and canyons, including Millsite Canyon and Old Horseshoe Canyon, provides a detailed record of the local topography used by generations of cattlemen and travelers.
