1957 Map of Paul Spur

About this map

The Sulphur Springs Valley landscape in the mid-1950s is defined by its international border and specialized transit infrastructure. Extending south to the United States Mexico line and the Arizona Sonora boundary, the map details the small settlement of Paul Spur and the nearby operations at Forrest. The presence of a prominent Quarry and multiple industrial water Reservoirs suggests an active mining or processing economy. Aviation is well-represented by the Forrest Airport and an additional Landing Strip, indicating the area's role in regional transport and border monitoring during this era. A local Cemetery and the Rancho San Jose provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Cochise County.
