About this map

Tombstone remains the focal point of this high-desert landscape, where modern streets like Skyline Dr and Gila Dr interface with a topography rich in mining and frontier history. North of the town center, the legendary Boothill Cemetery and the prominent Comstock Hill recall the district's late nineteenth-century origins, while the Tombstone Post Office serves as a central landmark for the modern community.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the Tombstone Hills and several notable peaks, including Military Hill, Ajax Hill, and Uncle Sam Hill. Rural ranching and aviation are well-represented by the Guthrie Ranch, the Lucky Hills Stock Ranch, and the Tombstone Municipal Airport to the southeast. Water drainage features like Tombstone Gulch and Emerald Gulch cut through the arid soil, while local naming conventions for roads such as N Curly Bill Dr and W Schieffelin Monument Rd pay homage to local legends and founders.
