About this map

The San Ignacio Del Babocomari land grant dominates the central portion of this 1958 survey, where the Babocomari River flows through a landscape defined by ranching and military presence. To the south, the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation boundary borders the small settlements of Huachuca Vista and Huachuca Village. These communities, along with the stop at Campstone, are tied to the corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the river.

Remote outposts such as Boedecker Ranch, Hunt Ranch, and Rock Ranch illustrate the scattered habitation of the high desert during the mid-twentieth century. Infrastructure for water management is evident through a series of named tanks, including Boedecker Tank and Homestead Tank, while a prominent pipeline and an Observation Tower within the military reservation signal the area's strategic and logistical utility. The map captures the intersection of traditional Arizona cattle country and the expanding operations of the neighboring army post.
