1958 Map of Double Adobe

About this map

Sulphur Springs Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral path of Whitewater Draw. The map documents a period of mid-century ranching and infrastructure development, centered on the settlement of Double Adobe. The presence of the Forrest Airport in the south and a significant Pipeline corridor in the northeast corner illustrates the region's role in transportation and energy transit during the late 1950s. Regional connectivity is further evidenced by the Elfrida Cutoff, which provides a straight-line traversal across the basin floor. Local landmarks like the Lazy KJ Ranch offer specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking family-owned properties and land use patterns in this part of southern Arizona before modern expansion.
