1994 Map of Willcox
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Sulphur Springs Valley dominates this 1994 topographic study, centered on the historic cattle and rail hub of Willcox. The landscape is a study in High Desert extremes, featuring the massive Willcox Playa and Willcox Dry Lake, which also served as the Willcox Bombing Range. To the east, the Dos Cabezas Mountains and Chiricahua Mountains rise sharply, punctuated by historic mining operations such as the Mascot Mine and Gold Prince Mine. The map traces the critical transit corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad and Interstate 10, connecting settlements like Bowie, San Simon, and Cochise. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain, from the Fort Bowie National Historic Site at Apache Pass to the scattered agricultural outposts of Kansas Settlement and Luzena. The presence of the Old Military Reservation Boundary reflects the region's 19th-century frontier importance.
