1919 Map of Chiricahua

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Chiricahua Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, serving as a backdrop for a ranching and mining economy at the height of its early 20th-century development. Established outposts like Paradise and Bernardino anchor the map, while the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad cuts through the San Bernardino Valley and Animas Valley, providing a vital link for the remote settlements. Numerous cattle operations, including the High Lonesome Ranch and Staffords Ranch, are scattered throughout the canyons and draws, illustrating the importance of water sources like O'Keefe Spring and Fife Spring. Mining activity is prominent in the northern reaches at the Cochise Mine and Hilltop Mine. Educational and administrative infrastructure is well-defined, featuring several remote schoolhouses such as the Texizona School and the Portal Ranger Sta within the Chiricahua National Forest.
