About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the high peaks of the Huachuca Mountains rise above the surrounding canyons and washes. This 1958 survey, updated with revisions through the early 1980s, documents a rugged ranching and mining region along the Santa Cruz Co Cochise Co boundary. Working cattle operations like the Swinging H Ranch, Pyeatt Ranch, and Becker Ranch are situated near the seasonal drainages of Lyle Canyon and Turkey Creek.

Resource extraction and military activity are prominent throughout the terrain, evidenced by the Manila Mine, Anderson Mine, and the Buffalo Corral near Demonstration Hill. The map also captures important local landmarks for genealogists and researchers, including a Cemetery on the reservation boundary and the secluded Pyeatt Cave. The network of the Crest Trail and various jeep trails suggests a landscape defined by its difficult access and strategic military importance during the mid-20th century.
