About this map

The Swisshelm Mountains and Pedregosa Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southeastern Cochise County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and seasonal drainage patterns, most notably Leslie Cr, which carves through the central portion of the map. This drainage system creates several distinct geographical features, including Gila Monster Canyon and Indian Canyon, which converge near Leslie Canyon.

Human activity in this arid region is reflected in a grid of ranch roads and specialized crossings like the Leslie Canyon Road Bridge. Names such as E Maxon Ranch Dr and N Davis Ranch RD suggest the historical and contemporary importance of large-scale landholdings. To the south, isolated peaks such as Taylor Butte and Bald Knob rise above the flat sections, serving as long-standing landmarks for navigation across the basin floor.
