About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the landscape of this 1950s Arizona survey, where the peaks of the Huachuca Mountains rise above the high desert floor. The area is defined by a distinct ranching economy, with numerous family-named holdings such as Pyeatt Ranch, Becker Ranch, and Swinging H Ranch scattered among the drainages of Lyle Canyon and Sycamore Canyon.

Resource extraction and military utility are visible throughout the terrain, evidenced by the Manila Mine and Anderson Mine, alongside a Landing Field and a Buffalo Corral near Demonstration Hill. The map also captures the rugged borderlands of the Coronado National Forest, where a network of trails and jeep tracks connects remote water sources like Kina Spring and Blacktail Spring. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two marked cemeteries located within the military reservation boundaries.
