Tombstone remains the central focus of this landscape, surrounded by the high-desert terrain of the Tombstone Hills and The Three Brothers Hills. The legendary history of the area is anchored by the presence of Boothill Graveyard and Tombstone Cem, reflecting its 19th-century boom years. Modern infrastructure is visible through the Tombstone Municipal Airport and the Rancho San Marcos Airport, while the natural drainage patterns of Walnut Gulch and Emerald Gulch cross the arid flats. Numerous named heights such as Military Hill, Uncle Sam Hill, and Ajax Hill suggest a legacy of strategic observation and local mining exploration. This 2018 survey documents the persistent layout of the town's grid against the surrounding drainages like Tombstone Gulch and Reeves Cr, providing a precise look at the modern footprint of one of the West's most famous settlements.
