About this map

The northern reaches of Willcox anchor this mid-1980s topographical record, where the town’s grid meets the vast basin floor of Alkali Flat. The infrastructure of a growing high-desert hub is evident in the presence of a Trailer Park, a local Athletic Field, and the Radio Tower KHIL standing near the southern edge of the sheet. Transportation and utility corridors shape the landscape, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting a diagonal line across the arid plains toward the siding at Raso.

Natural features provide sharp contrast to the human development. The prominent Circle Hills rise to the northwest, while the western foothills of the Dos Cabezas Mountains occupy the eastern margin. Drainage patterns like Campomocho Draw illustrate the local hydrology of Cochise County, while smaller formations like the Spike E Hills and local industry at the Gravel Pit offer specific points of interest for those studying the regional geography and land use of the era.
