1966 Map of Chrysotile

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Chrysotile and the surrounding Gila County landscape are defined by the sharp transition between the Tonto National Forest and the San Carlos Indian Reservation. This mid-1960s survey captures an area where industry and natural resources intersect, evidenced by the numerous prospect sites and a primary Mine located in the northwest near Cypress Tank. The rugged topography is etched with drainage systems like Ash Creek and Cienega Creek, the latter featuring a series of catchments including Detention No 6. Human activity is concentrated along a winding road passing the Timber Camp area and a designated Picnic Area, while the lower elevations are marked by landmarks like Jackson Butte and Hess Canyon. The map reveals a network of Jeep Trails providing access to remote water sources such as New Corral Spring and Sanders Spr, which were vital for supporting the settlement and ranching efforts of the era.
