2011 Map of Red Bird Hills

About this map

Red Bird Hills dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the alluvial plains of Cochise County. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is defined by the heavy diagonal artery of the interstate, marked by the Cochise Interchange and the West Willcox Interchange. Near the center of the sheet, the Steele Ranch sits as a notable landmark of the local ranching economy, situated along W Davenport Ranch Rd. In the north, the Cochise County Airport serves the region, while the terrain is etched by the drainage of Severin Canyon. The presence of Croton Springs indicates a critical water source in this arid environment, a feature traditionally vital to settlement and livestock in the Arizona desert. The map also traces the local road network, including N Cochise Stronghold Rd and Railroad Ave.
