2012 Map of Fairbank

About this map

Fairbank (historical) serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, situated at the confluence where Walnut Gulch meets the northward-flowing San Pedro River. The landscape is defined by the riparian corridors of the San Pedro and its western tributary, the Babocomari River, which cut through the arid terrain of Cochise County. This area represents a crossroads of Arizona ranching history and early transportation, anchored by large holdings like Boquillas Ranch and Lindsey Ranch. The map captures a modern view of these long-established desert spaces, showing the intersection of historic rail points like Benson Junction with newer infrastructure such as Four Pillars Airport. Elevations rise to the east toward The Three Brothers Hills and Mays Hills, while local road names like W Schieffelin Monument Rd and E Headless Man Trl provide distinctive clues for local historians tracing the heritage of the Tombstone-Fairbank corridor.
