2018 Map of Swisshelm Mountain

About this map

The Swisshelm Mountains dominate this section of Cochise County, rising sharply above the desert floor and creating a complex landscape of drainages and peaks. To the southeast, the terrain is cut by the evocatively named Gila Monster Canyon, while the western flats are defined by the broad reach of Whitewater Draw. The road network here reveals a mix of rugged access and localized development, with routes like N Mountain Queen Rd and E Rucker Canyon Rd skirting the mountain base. In the western sections, a grid of private tracks and residential lanes such as N Princess Palace Way and N Washmore Ln suggests contemporary ranching or rural settlement patterns. This survey provides an essential view of the high-desert topography where the basin meets the range, documenting the modern road names and township boundaries within the T20S R27E and T20S R28E districts.
