About this map

The San Pedro River serves as the central artery for this portion of southern Arizona, where the Southern Pacific and El Paso and Southwestern railroads converge. At the northern junction, Benson appears as a critical rail hub, while to the southeast, the legendary mining district of Tombstone is mapped in detail, including landmarks like Uncle Sam Hill and Military Hill. The map illustrates the region's complex land grant history through the sprawling boundaries of the San Juan de las Boquillas y Nogales and San Rafael del Valle grants.
