1965 Map of Cabeza Prieta Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Cabeza Prieta Mountains anchor this arid landscape of the Sonoran Desert, where remote water sources and historical trails define the territory. In this mid-century survey, the intersection of military and conservation land is evident through the overlapping boundaries of the Luke Air Force Range and the Cabeza Prieta Game Range. Evidence of human passage and hardship is etched into the terrain along the Camino Del Diablo, a path notorious for its difficulty, marked here by a lone grave and the elusive Coyote Water. The mapping of reliable catchments such as Cabeza Prieta Tanks and Halfway Tank underscores the critical importance of water for those navigating the Lechuguilla Desert. Mining history is represented by the McMillan Mine near the Copper Mountains, while peaks like Buck Peak and Tordillo Mtn provide prominent vertical relief across the desert floor.
