1958 Map of Double Adobe

About this map

Sulphur Spring Valley dominates this 1950s landscape, characterized by the wide, intermittent drainage of Whitewater Draw and its many smaller tributaries. The small settlement of Double Adobe sits at a junction of local roads, serving as a primary focal point for the surrounding cattle country. This era in Cochise County history shows a transition toward modern infrastructure, indicated by the prominent Pipeline cutting across the northeastern corner and the established Elfrida Cutoff. Ranching life is evidenced by the Lazy KJ Ranch, while aviation history is represented by the remote Forrest Airport located near the southern boundary. Survey markers like VABM Lamb 4084 provide precise elevation data for this high-desert basin, which remains largely open range and sparsely populated during this survey period.
