1985 Map of Sulphur Spring

About this map

Willcox Playa Dry Lake dominates the western portion of this mid-1980s landscape, its arid expanse bounded by a Military Reservation Boundary. The agricultural development of the Sulphur Springs Valley is evident in the dense network of water wells and infrastructure supporting the Kansas Settlement and Sulphur Spring. This era of Cochise County ranching and farming is marked by industrial features like a Feed Lot, numerous Storage Bins, and several Landing Strips for local aviation. To the south, the Three Sisters Buttes provide a distinctive geological landmark near a local Gravel Pit. Local history is anchored by the Sulphur Spring and an associated Cem, reflecting the small community hubs that sustained this desert region before further modern consolidation.
