About this map

Nicksville stands as the central hub of this Arizona landscape, positioned just east of the Coronado National Forest boundary. The area is defined by a dense concentration of named agricultural holdings and unique operations, most notably the Wintergreen Mink Ranch and the Smiling Tiger Ranch. These family-named landmarks, such as Rambo, Wilcox, and Kinjochity, are scattered across the terrain between the San Pedro River and the Huachuca foothills.

A network of aviation and resource extraction markers points to the mid-century infrastructure of Cochise County. The map details the Nicksville Airport and a separate Landing Strip, alongside an Airfield (Abandoned) further east. In the western elevations, the Bauer-Kircher Mine sits near the head of Stump Canyon, while several clusters of Ruins are documented throughout the flats, offering specific locations for historical and archaeological research.
