1958 Map of Huachuca Vista

About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1958 survey, where the high desert meets the northern edges of the Huachuca Mountains. Along the northern boundary of the reservation, the Southern Pacific railroad follows the course of the Babocomari River through the land grant of San Ignacio Del Babocomari. Small settlements and outposts like Huachuca Village and Campstone are situated near the rail line and river valley, providing a glimpse into the mid-century infrastructure of Cochise County. The map details a cattle-ranching landscape defined by scattered water sources such as Boedecker Tank and Homestead Tank, alongside family operations like Boedecker Ranch and Hunt Ranch. An Observation Tower on a prominent ridge serves as a reminder of the area's strategic military utility during the late 1950s.
