Hi, all:
I have a colleague who bought a house in Dunbar- Spring not long ago. I found an old map somewhere on City's website showing how the Court Street Cemetery would be platted for sale and development. Turns out my colleague's house is in the section reserved for firefighters, which I took as a good omen against that particular household hazard. The City's online MapTucson tool has aerial photos from, I think, 1940, that show houses going up in parts of the cemetery while other parts still have the perimeter trees and what appear to be walking paths between the gravesites (presumably relocated).
Cheers,
Les.

Wow...
Would you be willing to scan and share the map?

A copy of the map would be great!

Hi, Santarita and all:

This map -- -- (~3.5MB, ~30"W x 24"H, TIFF format) depicts the 1915 platting of the former Court Street Cemetery. The specific burial areas for various associations (firemen, Odd Fellows, &c) are noted on the lots on Eleventh Avenue (NB: Redmen were a fraternal organization, this is not where Native Americans were buried). Other maps can be found at -- -- which is quite the treasure trove.

Cheers,
Les.
