1999 Map of Dorsey Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Dorsey Ranch and the rugged canyonlands of the Silver City Ranger District define this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest. This mapping, updated at the close of the millennium, illustrates a network of cattle-raising outposts and remote water sources including Dorsey Hole Spring and Lee Spring. The terrain is characterized by massive flat-topped features such as Reading Mesa and Buckwood Mesa, which are dissected by complex drainages like Greenwood Canyon and Blacksmith Canyon. The presence of several grazing-related locations, such as Dorsey Camp and H W Ranch, alongside Gravel Pits in the southern sector, points to a landscape balancing forest management with local ranching and extraction. Notably, the map captures the transition between the high mesa tops and deep valley cuts like First Valley, offering a precise record of the road and 4WD trail network used by ranchers and foresters alike.
