1965 Map of Baragan Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Baragan Mountain rises as a prominent landmark above the desert floor in this mid-1960s survey of southwestern Arizona. The landscape is defined by the expansive Hyder Valley, where a network of ephemeral drainages including Red Raven Wash, Clanton Wash, and Deadman Wash carve through the arid terrain. The mapping reveals a sparse but vital infrastructure of water sources such as Hyder Well and several unnamed wells scattered across the valley. Transportation in this era was anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad cutting across the southern edge of the sheet, while the Harquahala Palomas Road provided a north-south thoroughfare through the desert. The presence of numerous fence lines indicates the integration of this rugged territory into regional ranching operations, even as the natural topography of Baragan Wash and Nottbusch Wash remained the dominant geographic features.
