BOWIE, Cochise County, Arizona - The Liberty Cafe: The dictionary says that a landmark can be a fixed marker indicating a boundary, a prominent landscape feature, or a historically signficant event, building, or site.

Hall Building. - Chiricahua Centennial Marker: This monument, which is located on the front lawn of the high school, was dedicated in September 1986.

In December 1881, the town postmaster changed the name to Teviston, after Captain James Tevis, who established the town.
