About this map

The Pat Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, rising above a network of drainage channels and ephemeral waterways. The terrain is defined by the systems of Fivemile Creek and Turkey Creek, which cut through the arid valley floor where several wells provide critical water access for the region's ranching operations. Human presence is marked by scattered infrastructure, including a prominent Corral and various corrals used for livestock management.

Industrial activity in the mid-1980s was localized to small-scale excavation, evidenced by a Gravel Pit and several Prospects or a single Prospect dotting the hillsides. A lone Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for genealogists and local historians, representing the families who lived and worked this landscape before the modern era. The map is a precise record of the rural intersections of Range 27 East and Range 28 East, showing the sparse but essential development of Arizona's high country.
