About this map

Sulphur Spring Valley dominates this 1920s tactical map, revealing a landscape defined by cattle ranching and scattered educational outposts in Cochise County. The Eastern Arizona Railroad cuts through the southwestern corner near the settlement of Kelton, while the rest of the quadrangle is punctuated by family holdings like the Kirkpatrick Ranch and Whitehead Ranch. Three distinct schools—Ash Creek School, Mountain View School, and Brophy School—indicate the spread of rural families across the arid terrain. The water network, though largely seasonal, is anchored by Whitewater Draw and Turkey Creek, with crucial water sources like Southwest Wells and Cottonwood Well supporting the local population. The Squaretop Hills and Turkey Cr Ridge provide the primary topographic relief in an otherwise expansive valley floor.
