Dos Cabezas was a station on the route of the San Diego-Arizona and Eastern Railway. Its water tower remains today. The name, which means Two Heads, comes from two head-shaped boulders in the Jacumba Mountains about two and a quarter miles across a valley to the southwest. There is a spring at the base of the mountains below these boulders, and it and a nearby campsite both bear the Dos Cabezas name.
Beautiful desertscapes in this area. Train tracks seem to go into eternity and the one pic. with the setting sun is cool. I got to visit Tombstone and wandered from Chiricahua Mtns to Yuma and these deserts are treasures. Big Nose Kate worked here back in Earp's day.
