About this map

Maverick Mountain and the Rough Mountain range dominate the southern landscape of this Cochise County region, giving way to the protected lands of the Dos Cabezas Mountains Wilderness. The northern half of the area reflects the infrastructure of late twentieth-century transit, defined by the Southern Pacific rail line and the presence of the Luzena Interchange and West Bowie Interchange.

Evidence of historical industry and local life is scattered across the arid terrain, from the Buckeye Mill (Site) in the southern canyons to the evocative Cowboy Swimming Hole. A network of water management features, including the Woodrow Windmill, Trench Windmill, and numerous drainage points like Buckeye Wash and Walnut Gulch, illustrate the constant effort to utilize and direct water in this high-desert environment.
