| Turkey creek is about So miles from
/ Douglas to the northeast and can be
made easily in two hours driving time.
/ From Douglas the road leads out the
Bisbee highway. to the intersection of
the Wilcox highway where the turn
to the north is made. This highway,
in perfect condition, is followed for
