1996 Map of Bisbee

About this map

The Mule Mountains dominate this 1996 survey, which documents the profound intersection of geology and industry in the Bisbee district. The landscape is defined by massive extraction efforts, most notably the Lavender Pit and numerous tailings facilities including Tailings Dump No 7 and a large Tailings Pond to the south. The dense urban layout of Bisbee is intricately mapped, showing civic landmarks like City Hall, the hospital, and St Patrick Sch, alongside the residential neighborhoods of Lowell, Warren, and Bakerville. Historic transportation and infrastructure are clearly visible, from the Old Railroad Grade and Mule Pass to the Banning Toll Station (Site). Further south, the transition to flatter terrain near the Naco Hills includes Huachuca Terrace and the Bisbee Municipal Airport, reflecting the continued modern footprint of this copper-rich region.
