1948 Map of Canelo Pass

About this map

The San Rafael De La Zanja land grant dominates the western landscape of this 1948 survey, where the Santa Cruz River and Mowry Wash cut through the arid terrain of Santa Cruz County. This era captures a sparse ranching economy defined by isolated outposts like Meigs Ranch, McPherson Ranch, and Potts Ranch. A particularly unique cultural marker is the Little Ranch Boys School located near the northern border, situated just west of the Canelo Hills and a small Landing Field.
