About this map

Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1938 tactical survey, showing the transition from frontier outposts to a modern military installation. The map identifies Fort Wallin (Old Camp Wallin), preserving the location of earlier nineteenth-century encampments alongside twentieth-century infrastructure like the Landing Field and Target Range. This era in Arizona history is characterized by a patchwork of large cattle operations and mining interests, illustrated here by the Manua Panama Mine and numerous family holdings including Clarks Ranch, Pyeatt Ranch, and Boedeckers Ranch.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with the Southern Pacific railroad and State Highway No 82 flanking the Babocomari River. To the north, the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway cuts through Mustang Pass. The inclusion of local social landmarks, such as the Evans School and the Graveyard near Mc Lanes Ranch, provides essential data for genealogists tracing early Cochise and Santa Cruz County families.
