1964 Map of Crosby Springs

About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the topography of this mid-1960s survey, where the rugged terrain of the Datil Mountains is carved by deep drainages like White House Canyon and Crosby Canyon. This is a landscape characterized by isolated water sources and high-altitude ranching infrastructure. Numerous named wells and springs, such as Jonnies Well and White House Spring, serve as vital landmarks across the canyons. The presence of the Baldwin Cabin and the Sawmill Well near the base of Anderson Mountain suggests a history of remote settlement and timber or livestock activity. Notable peaks like East Sugarloaf Mountain rise above the drainage systems of Slash Draw and Flying V Draw, while the inclusion of the Gravel Pit indicates localized industrial extraction within the forest boundaries during this era.
