1952 Map of Hereford

About this map

The San Pedro River corridor defines this southern Arizona landscape, flowing north through the San Rafael Del Valle grant toward the Hereford settlement. This mid-century survey illustrates a ranching-heavy economy centered on the river's fertile valley, with numerous named family holdings such as the Dinwiddie Ranch, Double Mill Ranch, and Wick Ranch dotting the basin. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Mule Mountains and Escabrosa Ridge, contrasting the alluvial flats where the Hereford Dairy Ranch and Palominas were established.
