1952 Map of Hereford

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The San Rafael Valley floor and the rising slopes of the Coronado National Forest define this 1950s borderland landscape. The San Pedro River flows northward toward Hereford, a key settlement where the Southern Pacific railroad meets a dense network of family-owned ranching operations. Traces of the region's agricultural and mining economy are evident at the Double Mill Pumps and the Baumkirchner Mine, while an Airfield (Abandoned) south of Hereford marks a change in local aviation use. The map illustrates a high concentration of established homesteads, such as the Smiling Tiger Ranch and Kinjoekity Ranch, scattered across the basin. Along the southern boundary, the United States Mexico international border runs just below the Coronado National Memorial, capturing the junction of Arizona Sonora in the mid-century era.
