1958 Map of Fort Huachuca

About this map

Fort Huachuca and its military reservation dominate this landscape, anchoring a network of ranches and nascent urban centers during a period of transition in the late 1950s. The map illustrates the early development of Sierra Vista and the neighboring community of Fry, where civic life is marked by the Carmichael School and the Buena School. This region is a complex meeting point of government land and private enterprise, with the Southern Pacific River railroad line traversing the northern plains while the Huachuca Mountains and Mustang Mts rise to the south and west.
