1951 Map of Dorsey Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Ranching outposts and rugged canyon systems define this 1951 survey of the Gila National Forest high country. The landscape is marked by remote habitations such as Dorsey Ranch, Avery Ranch, and the Burris H W Ranch, situated among a complex network of drainages including Hells Half Acre Canyon and Greenwood Canyon. These labels suggest a mid-century period when cattle operations were the primary human footprint in this corner of Grant County. Elevated terrain features like McClure Mtn and Dorsey Mesa overlook a geography punctuated by vital water sources like Seep Springs and Dorsey Hole Spring. The map captures the area just after a 1949-1950 field check, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and a small Quarry before modern development or changes in land management altered the visibility of these specific ranching sites.
