About this map

Bisbee and its neighboring mining towns of Warren, Lowell, and Don Luis anchor the western portion of this mid-1990s international border survey. This era shows the heavy industrial and transportation infrastructure of the Copper Queen region, with the Southern Pacific railroad lines connecting the mineral wealth of the Mule Mountains to the processing and shipping centers in Douglas. The map documents the intricate network of mines including the Uncle Sam Mine and Saginaw Mine, illustrating how the geology of Escabrosa Ridge shaped the local economy.

Eastward, the landscape shifts into the broad Sulphur Springs Valley and the San Bernardino Valley, where groundwater drainages like Whitewater Draw and Silver Creek dominate the terrain. This sheet is particularly notable for its detailed depiction of the international boundary, showing the physical proximity of Agua Prieta to the American border settlements. Land use ranges from the educational campus of Cochise College to the protected lands of the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge near the Peloncillo Mountains.
