1964 Map of Copper Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Sierra Ancha dominates this mid-century landscape within the Tonto National Forest, defined by a rugged system of canyons and high mesas. The mapping reveals a specialized ranching economy dependent on high-elevation water management, indicated by numerous scattered livestock catchments such as McBride Tank, Pine Flat Tank, and Big Turkey Tank. Notable cattle operations including the Z T Ranch, J Slash X Ranch, and 3-R Ranch are connected by a network of primitive pack trails and jeep trails rather than paved roads, underscoring the isolation of the Gila County interior during this period. To the south, the dramatic drop-off into Hells Hole contrasts with the high points of Greenback Peak and Buck Peak. Small signs of human habitation like the Dupont Cabin and an isolated landing strip suggest the area served as a remote outpost for both grazing and mineral prospecting, with several unnamed prospect pits located near Copper Mountain.
