About this map

The Huachuca Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the rugged topography is split between the Coronado National Forest and the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation. This survey captures a network of working ranchlands and remote mining operations established along the base of the mountains during the mid-20th century. Named family holdings like Pyeatt Ranch, Becker Ranch, and the Swinging H Ranch are linked by canyon roads and primitive trails.

Resource extraction and military utility are evident in the presence of the Manila Mine and Anderson Mine, alongside unique military landmarks such as a Buffalo Corral, a Landing Field, and Demonstration Hill. The transition from the high desert floor at San Ignacio del Babocomari to the deep incisions of O'Donnell Canyon and Lyle Canyon illustrates the complex drainage system of the Santa Cruz and Cochise County border region.
