We present combinatorial models that describe quotients of the solenoid arising from the dynamics of the complex Henon map$$f\sb{a,c}:{\bf C}\sp2\to{\bf C}\sp2,\qquad(x,y)\mapsto(x\sp2+c-ay,x).$$These models encode identifications of external rays for specific mappings in the Henon family. We investigate the structure of a region of parameter space in R$\sp2$ empirically, using computational tools we developed for this study. We give a combinatorial description of bifurcations arising from changes in the set of identifications of external rays. Our techniques enable us to detect, predict, and locate bifurcation curves in parameter space. We describe a specific family of bifurcations in a region of real parameter space for which the mappings were expected to have simple dynamics. We compute the first few bifurcation curves in this family and label them combinatorially. Our computer experiments also indicate the existence of gaps within the region of real parameter space where Henon family $f\sb{a,c}$ has connected Julia set $J\sb{a,c}.$ We show why the verification of this gap would imply the existence of values of a for which the level-a Mandelbrot set, $M\sb{a}=\{c\in{\bf C}:J\sb{a,c}\ {\rm is\ connected}\},$ is not connected.
