1926 Map of Rucker

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

The Chiricahua Mountains dominate this 1920s tactical map, revealing a landscape defined by cattle ranching and early forestry within the Coronado National Forest. This era in Cochise County is marked by a network of family-held territories, with numerous named properties such as Hudson Ranch, Kuykendall Ranch, and Estabrooks Ranch clustered around the seasonal drainages of Fivemile Creek and Turkey Creek. The map documents the presence of civil infrastructure in this mountain environment, including the Rucker School and Wrlous School, alongside the Rucker Ranger Sta. Significant high-altitude landmarks like Chiricahua Pk and Flys Pk rise above the canyons, while the Hilltop Mine suggests the region's enduring mining interests. The inclusion of Old Camp Rucker provides a specific connection to the area's military and frontier heritage, illustrating the transition from 19th-century outposts to the early 20th-century ranching economy.
