About this map

Industrial activity along the international border defines this landscape within the Sulphur Spring Valley. The massive Copper Queen Smelter stands as a primary landmark west of the main settlement, characterized by its network of stacks and acid tanks. The city of Douglas itself is shown in high detail, from the Customhouse near the United States Mexico border to the local High School and Po.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Southern Pacific Railroad bisecting the valley and the Geronimo Trail heading east from the city center. Outlying areas like Pirtleville and the settlement at Calumet provide a look at the residential expansion surrounding the mining works. Notable community features include the Sacred Heart Cem, Calvary Cemetery, and the Drive-in Theater along the western edge of town.
