About this map

Swede Peak and Sunset Peak dominate the high terrain of this Cochise County landscape, where the drainage network reveals a reliance on scattered water sources. The map Detail centers on the rugged topography between Limestone Mountain and the winding course of Cottonwood Cr. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks such as Krentz Ranch and a network of named stock tanks and springs including Cottonwood Corral Spring and High Lonesome Spring.

Transportation through this high-elevation ranching country follows the natural contours of the land, specifically along N Tex Canyon Rd and Texas Canyon Rd. The geographic layout, defined by Pine Gulch and Shake Gulch, illustrates the complex relationship between the arid environment and the cattle ranching infrastructure necessary to sustain life in the canyons, including Tex Canyon and Rustler Canyon.
