1957 Map of Hay Mountain

About this map

The high desert landscape of Cochise County during the mid-1950s is defined here by a network of ranching outposts and mining activity. Settlements such as Gold Camp and family-named landmarks like Reeves Ranch and H O Davis Ranch highlight the localized human presence in an area otherwise dominated by the arid terrain of Stockton Hill and Hay Mountain. Water management is central to life in this environment, evidenced by the numerous named water sources including Grapevines Windmill, Reeves Tank, Antelope Spring, and Deep Well Windmill distributed across the valleys.
