1958 Map of Gleeson

About this map

The high desert landscape of Cochise County is defined here by the convergence of the Dragon Mountains and the northern Mule Mountains. In the late 1950s, the settlement of Gleeson remained a central point of interest, complete with a local Cemetery and proximity to mining remnants at Gold Camp. The map documents a transition from early industrial efforts to a ranching economy, evidenced by the numerous family-named properties like Reeves Ranch, Harmon Ranch, and the H O Davis Ranch.
