1996 Map of Red Bird Hills

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Willcox Dry Lake Playa dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its expansive surface characteristic of the arid basin terrain of Cochise County. This 1996 survey illustrates the intersection of industrial activity and military history, with a designated Bombing Range and its associated Military Reservation Boundary cutting through the eastern flats. To the west, the Red Bird Hills rise sharply from the basin floor, marked by numerous small-scale mining operations including several prospects and mines. The transportation and utility infrastructure is clearly defined, showing the proximity of the Cochise County Airport and the sparse, straight-line roads that navigate around the Alkali Flats. This sheet provides a detailed look at the resource extraction and defense-related land use that shaped this part of the Arizona desert during the late twentieth century.
