About this map

The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation and the sprawling Coronado National Forest dominate this borderland survey, illustrating the intersection of military, mining, and ranching interests in the early 1920s. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Coronado Mountains, including Huachuca Peak and Miller Peak, which are carved by numerous canyons such as Ramsey Can. and Carr Can..

Settlement patterns reveal a mix of small mining outposts like Hamburg and the Montezuma Mining Camp, alongside family-named holdings such as Sutherland's Ranch and the OK Ranch. To the south, the United States-Mexico border is clearly marked, with the Southern Pacific Railroad cutting through the terrain near La Bota and Arroyo Terrenate. This map provides a detailed look at the local infrastructure of the era, from the Carr Canyon School to the various trails and roads like the Huachuca-Hereford Rd.
