About this map

Huachuca City and the surrounding high desert of Cochise County are centered in this late 1950s survey, updated with late 1970s revisions. The landscape is defined by the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation boundary and the drainage of the Babocomari River. Significant infrastructure of the era is visible, including the Southern Pacific railroad line and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain.

Local history is preserved through labels for established family holdings and small settlements like Hunt Ranch, Rock Ranch, and Campstone. Notable landmarks for researchers include a Cem near the river, an Observation Tower, and a dedicated Trailer Park at the city's edge. The map also traces the natural geography of Slaughterhouse Canyon and Huachuca Wash, illustrating how military activity and ranching shared this arid landscape.
