About this map

Dragoon Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Cochise County quadrangle, where the Coronado National Forest boundary meets the high desert floor. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Knob Hill and the archaeological interest of Council Rocks. Historical land use is evident in the northern sections, where the Southern Pacific railroad runs through Tully alongside early industrial features like a Quarry and various Pipelines.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with Dragoon Spring, Little Spring, and several tanks distributed among the drainage systems of Stronghold Canyon and Jordan Canyon. Researchers will find traces of earlier habitation at the Whitehouse Ruins and a small Cem (cemetery) located in the northern flats. The map also documents an extensive network of Jeep Trails that navigate the canyons and reach remote Prospect sites and Mine locations tucked into the mountain slopes.
