1952 Map of Lewis Springs

About this map

Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the northwestern landscape of this Cochise County survey, bordering a valley defined by the northward flow of the San Pedro River. The map illustrates a transitional period in Southern Arizona land use, where established cattle operations like the Donnet-Fry Ranch and Bakarich-McCool Ranch sit alongside military expansion and infrastructure developments. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor and a notable Railroad Grade trace the eastern side of the river, while the presence of a large Aqueduct and industrial-sized tanks on the military grounds reflect the region's mid-century modernization.
