1965 Map of Granite Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Luke Air Force Range and the Cabeza Prieta Game Range dominate this desert landscape in the mid-1960s, reflecting a period when vast tracts of southwestern Arizona were dedicated to military training and wildlife conservation. The map details a network of drainage systems like the San Cristobal Wash and Growler Wash, which carve through the Lechuguilla Valley and Growler Valley. Human activity is marked by precarious water sources and industrial remnants, including Monreal Well (Dry) and scattered Mines and Ruins in the western reaches. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of the Mohawk Mountains, Granite Mountains, and Bryan Mountains, showing the isolation and reliance on a few critical points like the Granite Pass Tank (Dry) and intermittent Jeep Trails for navigation.
