Cochran Road

Cochran Road leads to the now non-existent town of Cochran, along the Gila River and Sante Fe railway. In it's heyday back in the very early 1900's, it had up too 10 residents. The town was named after it's first post master John S. Cochran and served the local mines, railway and ranchers. There is nothing really left of the town site now except a very flat area. However, the route leads to a nice section of the Gila River, which always has flowing water. It's a popular crossing point for accessing many of the area OHV trails. Once you decide to cross the river, you then have to choose between two different trails to take, Rincon Road to the right, leading out to Walnut Canyon or to the left is Martinez Canyon Road leading out to many trails in the Florence OHV area. Please note that the Coke Ovens are closed to the public and should not be driven to.
