1952 Map of Fairbank

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The San Pedro River corridor in Cochise County serves as the central axis for this mid-century study of the high desert landscape. The settlement of Fairbank stands at a critical junction where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the river, while further downstream, the ruins and structures of Charleston sit near the Charleston Lead Mine. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation, showcasing the intersection of federal land use and private ranching interests like Boquillas Ranch and Lindsey Ranch. The drainage patterns of Walnut Gulch and Graveyard Gulch illustrate the seasonal hydrology that defined life and transport in this corner of the Arizona territory. Topography is marked by prominent rises such as The Three Brothers Hills and Mays Hills, providing a clear view of the transition from the river bottom to the surrounding upland reaches.
