About this map

Leslie Creek flows through a landscape defined by the intersection of the Swisshelm Mountains and the Pedregosa Mountains in this mid-1980s topographic study. The area is characterized by drainage systems like Mud Springs Draw and numerous canyons, including Monster Canyon and Indian Canyon. Notable topographic landmarks such as Taylor Butte and Bald Knob provide distinct navigational points for researchers.

Evidence of resource extraction is scattered across the terrain, with multiple Mine Shaft locations, Adits Shaft markers, and several Gravel Pits noted. Water management is indicated by a series of Check Dam features along the watercourses. This survey represents a period when 4WD trails provided the primary access into the high-elevation gaps of Cochise County, documenting the state of mining prospects and natural water sources before further modern development.
