About this map

The Steele Hills define the central topography of this mid-1980s Arizona landscape, situated in a high-desert basin between several prominent mountain ranges. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the foothills of the Winchester Mountains, while the Little Dragoon Mountains rise to the southwest. This area, largely defined by ranching and open range, is bisected by the Tres Alamos Wash, which serves as a primary drainage corridor for the Allen Flat region. Industrial infrastructure is noted by the presence of a high-voltage Transmission Line and the Trans-Arizona Double Wooden Pole line, marking the modernization of rural Cochise County. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by features such as Big Tank, reflecting the necessity of seasonal catchments for local livestock operations during this era.
