About this map

San Bernardino Grant anchors the southern landscape of this 1917 survey, where the international boundary between the United States and Mexico meets the rugged Cochise County terrain. The region is characterized by a network of private holdings and cattle operations such as the Armstrong Ranch, Stevens and Hennessy Ranch, and Geo Swaggarts Ranch, indicating the area's importance to the early twentieth-century ranching economy.

Transport and logistics are centered on the El Paso and Southwestern railroad, featuring stops like Cazador Siding and Lee Siding. The map captures essential rural infrastructure including the Cottonwood Creek School and a lone Cemetery, alongside significant natural landmarks like College Peak and the volcanic Crater. To the east, the Coronado National Forest rises toward the New Mexico border, punctuated by reliable water sources like Guadalupe Spring and Baker Spring.
