About this map

Sulphur Hills and Turkey Ridge define the desert terrain of this Cochise County landscape in the mid-1990s. The settlement of Sunizona anchors the southeastern portion of the map, situated near a Mobile Home Park and a local Cem. The region is characterized by an extensive network of water infrastructure, with numerous labeled Wells distributed across the valley floor to support the arid environment.

Mineral exploration is evident throughout the hills, where several sites are marked as Prospect and Prospects, along with a specific Mine Shaft located near Township Butte. This industrial footprint is further noted by the presence of a Storage Bin and various Tanks. Natural drainage is channeled through Turkey Creek, which cuts through the southern plains, illustrating the intersection of natural watercourses and the human-managed water system required for habitation in this part of Arizona.
