1965 Map of Granite Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Cabeza Prieta Game Range and Luke Air Force Range dominate this desert landscape, where water security was clearly a priority for survival. The map documents several critical water sources, including the Monreal Well, a Sealed Well, and the Granite Pass Tank, all illustrating the arid nature of the region. The topography is defined by the Mohawk Mountains and Granite Mountains, which channel seasonal flows into the San Cristobal Wash and Growler Wash. Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant, with Mines, a Prospect, and unnamed Ruins situated along the lower slopes of the Mohawks, indicating a history of mineral exploration and early settlement attempt in this remote borderland environment.
