About this map

Mining operations and rugged topographical surveying dominate this portrait of Cochise County during the late 1950s. The landscape is heavily marked by industrial activity, particularly around the settlement of Warren, where numerous shafts and pits appear alongside the Superior & Boston Mine and the Ivanhoe Mine. This intense subsurface exploration is further evidenced by a dense concentration of Prospect points scattered across Gold Hill and near the Easter Sunday Mine.

The eastern portion of the sheet transitions into the broad expanse of the Sulphur Springs Valley, where transport routes like the Elfrida Cut-Off and an Old Railroad Grade illustrate the area's logistical connections. Natural features such as Mule Gulch and Dixie Canyon carve through the high terrain, while isolated landmarks like the Forrest Ranch provide rare points of domestic habitation amidst the expansive mineral claims and surveying stations.
