1996 Map of Paramore Crater

About this map

Paramore Crater stands as the central landmark of this corner of Cochise County, anchoring a terrain defined by volcanic features and the open expanse of the San Bernardino Valley. The map documents a landscape where traditional ranching infrastructure, such as Corral, Malpais Tank, and numerous water tanks, meets the industrial remnants of earlier transit. The diagonal path of the Old Railroad Grade and an adjacent Pipeline trace the historic movement of resources through this arid environment. The intermittent course of Black Draw winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the valley floor. Near the northern boundary, the settlement of Chiricahua sits along the roadway, marking a point of human activity in an otherwise sparse, topography-heavy region.
