About this map

Dos Cabezas serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Dos Cabezas Mountains, captured as the area's mining era transitioned into the late 20th century. The map records a landscape heavily marked by mineral exploration, with numerous operations including the Mascot Mine, Gold Prince Mine, and Buckeye Mine scattered throughout the canyons and slopes. The town itself is shown alongside its local Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing families from this Cochise County mining district.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure is visible in the network of pipelines and tanks, such as Rancho Sacatal and several Water Tanks. The rugged terrain is defined by prominent summits like Cooper Peak and Government Peak, with dozens of named water sources like Cement Spring and Bota Chiquita Spring indicating the vital importance of water management in this arid environment.
