1914 Map of Hereford

About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the northwestern corner of this 1914 borderland survey, marking a significant military presence in the San Pedro River valley. The landscape is a mix of high-altitude peaks, including Huachuca Peak and Miller Peak, and the industrial activity of the Montezuma Mine. Settlement follows the Southwestern Railroad corridor through Hereford and south toward the international boundary, where a network of ranches like the O.K. Ranch and Clinton Ranch define the local economy. South of the Boundary Line, the map details the infrastructure of Sonora, Mexico, including the Southern Pacific Railways and the Federal Telegraph Line. Notable landmarks such as Hogan's Dam and the Palomina School provide touchpoints for local historians tracing the early twentieth-century development of this arid region.
