1958 Map of Huachuca Peak

About this map

Huachuca Mountains terrain dominates this 1958 survey, where the rugged southern Arizona landscape is defined by the high elevations of Huachuca Peak and the sprawling Fort Huachuca Military Reservation. The map details a cattle-ranching and mining economy concentrated within the Coronado National Forest, featuring family-named locations such as Peterson Ranch, Parker Ranch, and Sunnyside Ranch. Evidence of earlier industrial efforts appears at the Eureka Mine near Eureka Peak, while local history is anchored by the Sunnyside Cemetery and small outposts like Tom Wills Camp and Joiner Camp. Canyons including Scotia Canyon and Bodie Canyon carve through the peaks, providing drainage for essential water sources like Collins Spring and Neighbor Spring. The map also captures the political geography of the era, marking the diagonal Santa Cruz Co - Cochise Co boundary as it crosses the Canelo Hills.
