1957 Map of Dos Cabezas

About this map

Dos Cabezas serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Dos Cabezas Mountains, where the high desert floor of the Sulphur Spring Valley meets steep, mining-scarred peaks. The landscape is defined by its water sources and extractive history, featuring the Mascot Mine and the Mineral Park area tucked into the rugged slopes. Numerous water points, including Apache Spring, Muskhog Spr, and White Rock Spr, underscore the critical role of springs for local ranching and mining operations in this arid environment. Down in the valley, the transition from mining to large-scale ranching is evident at Rancho Sacatal and the Creasey Ranch near Pinery Creek. A prominent Pipeline and a Compressor Sta indicate the infrastructure supporting the region during the late 1950s, while the mountain heights are marked by named summits like Simmons Peak and Government Peak.
