1994 Map of Fort Huachuca

About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation and the legendary town of Tombstone anchor this mid-1990s survey of Southern Arizona’s high desert and mountain ranges. The map traces the legacy of mining and military history from the Santa Rita Mountains in the west to the Dragoon Mountains in the east. Industrial footprints are visible at the Copper World Mine and Helvetia Mine, while the San Pedro River valley shows the corridor for the Southern Pacific RR and the San Pedro and Southwestern RR. These rail lines connected historic settlements such as Fairbank and Charleston. Modern infrastructure like Sierra Vista and the Sahuarita Air Force Range sits alongside protected lands including the Mt Wrightson Wilderness and the Santa Rita Experimental Range and Wildlife Area. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, from the depths of Davidson Canyon to the peak of Mt Wrightson.
