1958 Map of Gleeson SE

About this map

Sulphur Spring Valley dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in the high desert of Cochise County. The terrain is marked by a network of cattle tanks and landmarks like the Homestead Windmill, Hackberry Windmill, and Dye Windmill, which served the scattered operations of 47 Ranch and Dixie Canyon Ranch. To the west, the topography rises sharply into the Mule Mountains, where Abbot Canyon and Johnson Canyon cut through the slopes. Evidence of earlier transportation infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the Lonesome High Road, tracing the movement of people and goods across the valley floor. The placement of an industrial Pipeline alongside these older routes reflects the evolving utility of the land during the mid-twentieth century.
