1958 Map of Gleeson

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The settlement of Gleeson anchors the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the high-desert landscapes of the Dragoon Mts and Sugarloaf Hill. This is a landscape defined by the search for water and mineral wealth, marked by numerous Shafts and a local Cem near the town site. The rugged geography of the Mule Mountains gives way to the open Sulphur Springs Valley, where an Old Railroad Grade and several irrigation pipelines trace the efforts to connect this remote territory. Scattered cattle operations like Reeves Ranch, Harmon Ranch, and the Dixie Canyon Ranch rely on a network of named water sources, including Antelope Spring and Thompson Tank. The presence of Gold Camp and various prospect pits indicates the lingering mining activity that once drove the region's economy.
