1956 Map of Globe

About this map

Springville and the settlement of Globe serve as the primary gateways to the eastern uplands where the Tule River splits into its various forks and canyons. This mid-century landscape is defined by the transition from the valley floor of Pleasant Valley to the heavily protected terrain of the Sequoia National Forest and the Tule River Indian Reservation. A notable remnant of earlier industry is the Old Railroad Grade following the river, while smaller settlements like Big Campbell and Graham are positioned along the lower slopes. The map captures a high degree of local nomenclature for the surrounding peaks and flats, including Cow Mtn, Joaquin Flat, and Oak Flat. This survey is particularly useful for identifying early access routes such as Goat Ranch Road and mining activity evidenced by scattered Shafts and Prospects in the canyons.
