2011 Map of Leslie Canyon

About this map

Swisshelm Mountains dominate the northeastern portion of this Cochise County landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Leslie Creek snakes through the eponymous Leslie Canyon. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, punctuated by landmarks such as Taylor Butte and Bald Knob. A network of rural and ranch roads provides access to this arid environment, including N Leslie Canyon Rd and N Davis Ranch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages. Settlement patterns are sparse, with most named thoroughfares clustered in the northwest near Cochise Rd and Mohave St. Notable geographic features like Gila Monster Canyon and Indian Canyon illustrate the complex system of washes and draws, such as Mud Springs Draw, that drain the high desert floor.
