2014 Map of Red Bird Hills

About this map

Red Bird Hills rise from the high desert floor of southeastern Arizona, providing a stark topographical contrast to the flat expanse of the Willcox Playa to the southeast. This 2014 survey captures a landscape where infrastructure is concentrated along the northeast-southwest transportation corridor of Interstate 10 and US-191. The presence of the Cochise County Airport and a network of strictly aligned rural roads like W Airport Rd and S Foothills Rd indicate the region's mid-century modernization and continued role as an aviation and transit hub. In the south-central portion of the map, Croton Springs marks a specific point of hydrologic interest near the edge of the playa, while historical thoroughfares such as Railroad Ave reflect the long-standing importance of rail and road connections through the Sulphur Springs Valley.
