About this map

Pyeatt Ranch sits at the intersection of private cattle ranching, federal forest land, and military infrastructure in this late-twentieth-century study of the Arizona borderlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp division between the Coronado National Forest and the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation, where the high peaks of the Huachuca Mountains give way to a network of drainage systems like O'Donnell Canyon and Blacktail Canyon.

Evidence of historical land use is scattered throughout the canyons and ridges, ranging from the industrial legacy of the Manila Mine and Anderson Mill to localized infrastructure such as the Buffalo Corral near Demonstration Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of numerous named family properties, including the Swinging H Ranch, Becker Ranch, and Page Ranch, alongside a small Cem, provides a clear view of the mid-century ranching community that persisted amidst the expanding military footprint.
