About this map

The Pat Hills rise in the northern portion of this Cochise County landscape, providing a topographic anchor to a region defined by modern rural development and vast desert stretches. This 2021 survey shows a structured grid of residential access roads and ranch lanes, such as S Chato Rd and Shepherd Hills Rd, carving into the arid terrain. The presence of the Rancho Relaxo Airport suggests the importance of private aviation in navigating this expansive southern Arizona environment.

Ephemeral water features like Turkey Cr bisect the lower elevations, while roads with locally descriptive names like Turkey Trot Rd and E Collared Lizard Rd reflect the native wildlife and geography. The map illustrates a shift from open rangeland to subdivided lots, particularly evident along E Luna A Ranch Rd, where the transition from traditional ranching to contemporary land use is most visible.
