1973 Map of Galleta Flat West

About this map

The Rincon Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Coronado National Forest and Saguaro National Monument meets the arid lowlands. A network of seasonal drainages, including Martinez Wash, Cumaro Wash, and Agua Verde Creek, carves through the foothills toward the Galleta Flat. This area illustrates a sparse ranching and spiritual settlement pattern, anchored by Mackenzie Ranch and Ashrama Ranch. The presence of several prospects and isolated watering points like Canoa Spring and Rock Pile Tank highlights the difficulty of resource extraction and livestock management in this environment. Significant landmarks for local history include the remote White Cross Cem and the prominent North Star Peak, which towers over the Pima and Cochise County line.
