About this map

Hookers Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this arid landscape within the Coronado National Forest during the mid-1980s. Tucked into the foothills of the Winchester Mountains, the map reveals a rugged terrain defined by a network of seasonal water sources and deep incisions including Hot Springs Canyon and Carruthers (Redrock) Canyon. The geography reflects the ranching and resource-management heritage of Cochise County, where isolated water features like N O Spring, V F Springs, and Riggs Seep were essential for survival.

To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Allen Flat, a stark contrast to the sharp relief of Bald Ridge and the Teran Basin. A prominent Pipeline and numerous 4WD tracks crisscross the canyons, tracing modern infrastructure across a land formerly navigated by much older trails. This provisional survey captures the intersection of natural thermal springs and the demanding desert environment of southern Arizona.
