1958 Map of Fort Huachuca

About this map

Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates this Cochise County landscape, where the sharp transition from the Huachuca Mountains to the desert floor is meticulously documented. The post-war growth of the region is evident in the development of Sierra Vista and Huachuca City, showing the expansion of residential trailer parks and municipal infrastructure alongside the military installation. The map detail highlights a sophisticated transportation and utility network, including a Tramway and Canyon Tramway climbing the slopes of Garden Ridge, and a significant Pipeline corridor running north toward the city. Educational and aviation sites like the General Myer School, William Carmichael School, and the Libby AAF-Sierra Vista Municipal Airport reflect the mid-century transformation of this high-desert outpost into a permanent suburban and military hub.
