The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a vital path through this high desert corridor, connecting the small settlement of Hackberry with the Valentine siding. Situated between the Peacock Mountains and the Cottonwood Mountains, the landscape is defined by its drainage systems and the formidable wall of the Cliffs to the east. Several prospects scattered near Cottonwood Creek indicate the region's mineral interests, while the Presence of a corral and numerous water tanks suggest a ranching economy supported by the seasonal flows of Hackberry Wash. A network of primitive roads and a Jeep Trail provide the only access into the more remote elevations of the surrounding ranges during the late 1960s.
