1948 Map of Lochiel SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Lochiel sits directly against the international border in this mid-century study of the Arizona-Mexico frontier. The settlement is anchored by the U. S. Custom House, serving as a critical port of entry during a period when this ranching landscape remained largely defined by the open range of the San Rafael de la Zanja land grant. The Santa Cruz River cuts across the western portion of the sheet, providing a vital water source for the numerous Windmills that dot the high-desert terrain. To the east, the boundary of the Coronado National Forest rises into more broken country, where deep drainages like Parker Canyon and Adams Canyon define the topography. The presence of the Jones Ranch suggests the enduring cattle-ranching legacy of Santa Cruz County, where remote homesteads and government outposts existed in isolation long after the initial frontier era.
