About this map

The Pat Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Cochise County region, where the terrain reveals a history of mineral exploration and ranching infrastructure. Arid drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Turkey Creek and Fivemile Creek, which cut through a landscape dotted with numerous prospects and a specific Mine Shaft. These features suggest a period of active geological investigation and small-scale resource extraction typical of southeastern Arizona.

Settlement is sparse, marked primarily by the presence of a lone Cemetery and a Landing Strip, reflecting the remote and utilitarian character of the land during the late 20th century. Numerous wells and corrals distributed across the quadrangle indicate the ongoing importance of livestock grazing, while a Gravel Pit in the southern portion points to localized road-building or industrial activity.
