2011 Map of Paul Spur

About this map

The international border between the United States and Mexico dominates the southern half of this landscape, defining the rural character of the Cochise County desert. Just north of the boundary, the settlement of Paul Spur and the nearby site of Forrest sit along the primary east-west highway corridor. This area reflects a mid-century ranching and aviation footprint, anchored by the Cochise College Airport and historical ranching properties like Rancho San Jose. Local road names such as Wilbourn Ranch Rd and James Ranch Rd highlight the family-owned lands that have long defined this territory. To the northeast, a small residential street grid including Princeton Dr and Arizona State Dr indicates a cluster of development near the educational institution, while most of the quadrangle remains an open, arid expanse carved by numerous dry washes and drainages flowing south toward the border.
