About this map

The Swisshelm Mountains and the Pedregosa Mountains anchor this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where steep drainages and isolated peaks define the geography. Centered on the canyon floor, Leslie Cr winds through the terrain, bridged by the Leslie Canyon Road Bridge along Leslie Canyon Rd. The map reveals a transition from the rugged slopes of Gila Monster Canyon and Indian Canyon in the north to the more open basins near Taylor Butte and Bald Knob.

Modern ranching and rural development are evident through an extensive grid of named roads, such as W Davis Rd and W Bird of Pardise, which segment the traditional section lines of T21S and T22S. This network of trails and roads, including the Leslie Canyon Trait, provides a record of how land access and property divisions have evolved in this corner of Arizona, where geographic landmarks like the Swisshelm range remain the dominant features of the southeastern horizon.
