Tombstone, Arizona

This week's interesting General Land Office record features a survey plat that displays the townsite of Tombstone, Arizona! Known as "the town too tough to die," Tombstone has gone through some rough patches but always prevailed. Notoriously known as the location where the gunfight at the O.K.
