1950 Map of Dorsey Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the deep canyons and high mesas of this 1950 field survey in Grant County. The landscape is defined by its critical water sources, including Lee Spring, Seep Springs, and the notably named Dorsey Hole Spring, which supported the region's isolated ranching operations. Remote outposts such as the Burris H W Ranch, Avery Ranch, and Dorsey Ranch are connected by rugged terrain features like Hells Half Acre Canyon and Greenwood Canyon. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Quarry in the southeastern quadrant, while the Reading Canyon Trail suggests the early transit routes used by stockmen. The map reveals a land management pattern where named canyons like Stone Canyon and Windmill Canyon served as primary landmarks for navigating the high desert environment before modern development altered the southwestern corridor.
