1974 Map of Bluff Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lincoln National Forest topography defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Rio Peñasco and Agua Chiquita Canyon carve through a network of steep ridges and timbered draws. Traces of historical industry and transportation remain visible through the Old Railroad Grade winding through Willie Canyon and Wills Canyon, marking former timber or ranching routes. The area is notable for its high density of named water sources, including Bluff Springs, Charles Spring, and Hubbell Spring, which likely served as critical landmarks for early ranching operations. Human presence in the mid-1970s is indicated by recreational sites like Camp Wehinahpay, Pine Springs Camp, and Skyridge Camp, alongside specialized features such as a Heliport and a Picnic Area. Family-named landmarks like Prestridge Hill and Masterson Spring offer specific touchpoints for local genealogical research in this mountain terrain.
