1996 Map of Bassett Peak

About this map

Galiuro Mountains dominate this landscape, where the rugged topography of the Galiuro Wilderness preserves a window into Arizona's mineral and ranching past. Evidence of early resource extraction remains at the Powers Mine and Long Tom Mine, situated in the remote drainages of the Coronado National Forest. This 1996 update, based on 1970s topographic data, records the scattered outposts of human activity including Kielberg, the Hooker Cabin, and Browning Dam. The map's detail is particularly valuable for tracing water sources in an arid environment, documenting numerous named points such as Rattlesnake Spring, Echols Spring, and Mitchell Spring. These springs and tanks supported the high-altitude cattle operations and mining claims that once defined this portion of the range near Bassett Peak.
