About this map

Sulphur Springs Valley dominates the terrain of this Cochise County survey, revealing a landscape defined by aviation infrastructure and ranching outposts. The Bisbee-Douglas International Airport serves as a central hub, flanked by its own Airport Boundary and associated fuel tanks. Outside the airfield, the map documents a series of established holdings including Stewart Ranch, Wells Ranch, Watson Ranch, and Harris Ranch, which reflect the region’s agricultural character during the mid-20th century.

Evidence of historical transportation and transit is scattered throughout, from the Old Railroad Grade running north-south to the Arizona Inspection Station located near the southern edge. The map also captures local recreational and utility landmarks such as the Douglas Golf Course, the Fairgrounds, and a remote Cem and Quarry. The natural drainage of Whitewater Draw provides a clear look at the area's hydrology before the onset of modern development.
