About this map

Pat Hills anchor the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, rising above a series of north-trending drainage systems. The map illustrates a ranching and utility corridor defined by Pinery Creek and several significant draws including Cienega Draw, Mogul Draw, and Ideal Draw. Human activity is marked by essential water infrastructure and livestock management, with labels for Shaw Well, a Deep Well, and various Corrals scattered across the basin.

The presence of Creasey Ranch and several Pipelines running through the northern reaches suggests a landscape focused on resource management and transcontinental transit. Several Gravel Pit sites and scattered Prospects point to localized extraction efforts. This survey, based on 1996 imagery, provides a detailed record of the desert's land-use patterns before the turn of the millennium, documenting the vital water points and tank locations necessary for survival in this arid environment.
