About this map

Mescal serves as a central point of this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where the transition from traditional ranching to modern transportation is clearly visible. The settlement of Pimaco Two and several family-named properties, including the Double X Ranch and B Smith Ranch, underscore the area's agricultural roots. These rural holdings are situated against a backdrop of prominent local summits such as Haystack Mountain and Easter Mountain, which rise above a network of dry washes like Cumaro Wash and Cadillac Wash.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the northern half of the map, centered on the Mescal Interchange and the Skyline Interchange. These modern junctions contrast with the older cattle-country features like the Round Corral and the scattered water sources essential for survival in this arid environment, including Nogales Spring and Bill Williams Tank. The layout of local roads, such as W Train Track Rd and W Salcido Ranch Rd, further illustrates the ongoing development of the Benson area.
