1948 Map of Fort Huachuca NE

About this map

Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this Arizona territory, where a sprawling Artillery Range meets the steep drainage of Huachuca Canyon. The geography reflects a mid-century intersection of military operations and traditional Southwestern ranching life. Established land holdings like Boedecker Ranch and Slash Z Ranch are scattered across the scrubland, while the Babocomari River carves a path through the San Ignacio Del Babocomari land grant. Transportation and infrastructure are vital to the area's character, evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad line passing near the small settlement of Campstone and a prominent Pipe Line cutting across the desert floor. The presence of a small Cem near the Turner Ranch provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early Cochise County residents.
