2021 Map of Sulphur Spring

About this map

Sulphur Springs Valley defines this arid landscape in Cochise County, where the sprawling basin of Willcox Playa dominates the western half of the quadrangle. This ephemeral dry lake bed transitions into a network of agricultural and ranching lands to the east, anchored by the Kansas Settlement. The human geography of the area is marked by a strict grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Kansas Settlement Rd and S Chambers Ranch Rd, reflecting the large-scale irrigation and cattle operations typical of the region. Local history is anchored at the Sulphur Springs Cem, while the small Leroy Airport and the named Sulphur Spring itself point to the critical role of transportation and water in this high-desert environment. To the south, the Three Sisters Buttes provide a distinct vertical break in the otherwise level basin floor.
