About this map

Squaretop Hills and the northern reaches of the Swisshelm Mountains dominate this portion of Cochise County, revealing a landscape defined by drainage patterns and early resource extraction. The area is intersected by several watercourses including Ash Creek, Stanford Creek, and the more prominent Whitewater Draw which flows through the southwestern section.

Evidence of historical activity is scattered across the terrain, from several Prospect sites and Gravel Pits to a small Cem located near the junction of Ash Creek. The presence of named features like Whitehead Ridge and Flat Top alongside the Pridham label suggests a history of local ranching or settlement. This late twentieth-century topographic record captures the transition between the high desert floor and the elevated mountain ridges.
