1966 Map of Gillespie Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the western landscape of this mid-1960s survey, rising sharply toward the prominent peak of Gillespie Mtn. The rugged topography is defined by deep drainage systems including Righthand Canyon and Dutch Henry Wash, which carve through the high country. Human activity is sparse and centered on cattle ranching and early utility infrastructure, represented by the P Ranch and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the desert flats. Genealogy and local history researchers can identify family-named landmarks such as Baker and Van Gausig situated near Oak Draw. The map details a transition from the mountainous timberlands of the national forest to the arid basins where Owl Wash and various Water Tanks signify the critical importance of water management in the Graham County ranching economy.
