About this map

The Pedregosa Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where the rocky terrain of the Coronado National Forest meets the wide expanse of the San Bernardino Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a territory defined by its water management and drainage patterns, essential for life in the arid borderlands. Features such as Half Moon Tanks, Upper Tank, and Riddle Tank indicate the vital infrastructure used by ranchers to sustain livestock across the scrub and canyons.

Transport through this part of the Chiricahua region relies on a network of unpaved roads like E Rucker Canyon Rd and N Boss Ranch Rd, which navigate around the deep incisions of Walnut Canyon and Deep Well Canyon. The map illustrates how seasonal drainages like Indian Cr and the ominously named Danger Wash carve through the foothills, shaping the ranching and natural history of this remote Arizona corridor.
