1973 Map of Bosque

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this desert landscape, connecting isolated stops like Shawmut and Bosque. This mid-1970s survey illustrates a region where water sources and livestock infrastructure dictate the pattern of human presence, evidenced by the numerous named wells and corrals such as LaPalma Corral and Mc Cray Well. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Maricopa Mountains to the north and the Sand Tank Mountains to the south, with the broad Bender Wash cutting through the lowlands.
