About this map

Packsaddle Mountain and the high desert elevations of the Pedregosa Mountains dominate this landscape in Cochise County. The map details a network of ranching life and water management essential for survival in the arid Southwest, featuring named operations such as 99 Bar Ranch and the Lamberson and Riggs Ranch. Evidence of localized infrastructure is found in the various water catchments scattered across the drainage basins, including the Big Bend Number Two Tank and Hunsaker Tank.

Geological features like Castle Dome and the winding Tom Ketchum Canyon illustrate the complex topography of the region. A series of rural roads, including Leslie Canyon Rd and E Haymore-Ranch Rd, connect these isolated ranching outposts. The presence of Walnut Spring and Mud Springs further highlights the natural water sources that have historically dictated human activity in this part of Arizona.
