1962 Map of Cottonwood Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape within the Cibola National Forest, marking the boundary between McKinley and Valencia Counties during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a region defined by its rugged topography and essential water sources, such as Peavine Spring and Twin Springs, which supported local ranching operations. Small-scale human presence is anchored at the Irvin Ranch, Bass Ranch, and Poddington Ranch, scattered among prominent natural features like Lookout Mountain Rim and the wide drainage of Cottonwood Canyon. The terrain transitions from the broad Las Tuces Valley in the north to the more secluded Rice Park and Long Park in the south, reflecting a remote wilderness characterized by its spring-fed creeks and canyons.
