About this map

Bisbee-Douglas International Airport anchors the landscape of southern Cochise County, surrounded by a transition from industrial infrastructure to open ranch land. This survey captures the development of the region in the late 20th century, notably featuring the Arizona Prison Complex (Douglas) and the sprawling County Fairground. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses such as Mud Springs Draw and the Whitewater Draw, with the deep cleft of Leslie Canyon cutting through the northeast.

Evidence of historical transportation is visible through the Old Railroad Grade, which parallels modern pipelines across the desert floor. Rural land ownership is recorded through family-named landmarks like Harris Ranch, Stewart Ranch, and Wyatt Ranch. At the southern edge, the Douglas city limits reach toward the Arizona Inspection Station, marking the map's proximity to the international border.
