2018 Map of Outlaw Mountain

About this map

Gleeson sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where the southern foothills of the Dragoon Mountains descend into the surrounding valley. The area's topography is defined by prominent peaks like Outlaw Mtn, Maud Hill, and Sugarloaf Hill, separated by drainages such as Dead Mexican Canyon. Historically a region shaped by cattle ranching and mining interests, the map shows a sparse network of roads and trails with names that reflect its frontier character, including N Stagecoach Pass and W Buckskin Trl. Water management is central to life in this arid environment, evidenced by a series of catchment basins scattered throughout the terrain, from Frog Lake in the west to Mesquite Tank and Sand Tank further east. These water features and the rugged trail system provide clear markers for understanding the historical movement of people and livestock across this corner of Arizona.
