1958 Map of Swisshelm Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Swisshelm Mountain dominates the eastern landscape of this Cochise County survey, giving way to the broad expanse of the Sulphur Spring Valley to the west. The mid-century agricultural and utility infrastructure is evident in the presence of the McNeal Generating Plant and a Radio Range Station south of McNeal. Local life centers around Elfrida, where the Valley Union High School serves the surrounding ranching community, including the Four Bars Ranch. Mining activity is indicated by several Shafts and a Prospect scattered along the mountain slopes, while the rugged southeastern terrain features the Lewis Monument near Leslie Canyon. The drainage of Whitewater Draw defines the valley floor, supporting a network of wells and localized irrigation critical to the high desert economy of the late 1950s.
