About this map

Tombstone remains the focal point of this modern survey, which preserves the spatial layout of its most legendary landmarks. The grid of the town site is clearly defined, situated just south of the famous Boothill Graveyard and the Tombstone Cem. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a series of peaks and drainages that shaped the region's mining and military history, including Comstock Hill, Military Hill, and the Tombstone Hills.

A network of named roads like Miners Dream Rd and N Curly Bill Dr provide contemporary context to the old mining districts. To the south and east, the terrain opens toward Walnut Gulch and Government Draw, while aviation facilities like the Tombstone Municipal Airport and Rancho San Marcos Airport mark the more recent developments in this corner of Cochise County. The topography reveals the complex drainage patterns of Emerald Gulch and Tombstone Gulch as they cut through the high desert floor.
