1961 Map of Gladden

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Harquahala Mountains dominate this arid landscape, rising sharply from the floor of Aguila Valley and Mullen Valley. Recorded in the early 1960s, the map illustrates an era of deep-desert mining and infrastructure development, with numerous workings like the White Marble Mine and the Silver Queen Mine tucked into the canyons. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a straight line across the desert plains, serving small sidings and outposts such as Gladden and Love. This transport corridor was essential for moving minerals and supplies through the heat of the Centennial Wash drainage. Evidence of traveler services and modern utilities appears through labels like Roadside Park and the Eagle Eye Substation, while the surrounding peaks, including Harquahala Mtn and Socorro Peak, provided prominent navigational landmarks for those following the Webber Jeep Trail.
