About this map

Fort Huachuca and the burgeoning communities of Sierra Vista and Huachuca City define this mid-century portrait of southern Arizona. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Fort Huachuca Military Reservation, showing the internal infrastructure of the post including Apache Flats and the General Myer School. Urban expansion is evident through purple-tinted revisions, illustrating the growth of residential areas and extensive Trailer Parks that supported the military and civilian population during the Cold War era.

Terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Huachuca Mountains and Stone Ridge down to the drainage of Slaughterhouse Wash. Local landmarks such as the Libby AAF-Sierra Vista Municipal Airport and the William Carmichael School highlight the civic development of the San Pedro Valley. Unique technical features like the Tramway and Canyon Tramway in the southern canyons suggest the complex logistical needs of the mountain terrain and military operations in Garden Canyon.
