1960 Map of Guthrie

About this map

The San Francisco River and Gila River converge in this high-desert landscape, carving deep channels like the River Box and Yellowstone Canyon. This mid-century survey documents a region defined by ranching and mining, where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the river's edge past the Cemetery near Guthrie Mtn. Cultural markers of the era include the Gillard Hot Sprs and remote outposts like Subia Ranch and Harris Camp. Industrial activity is centered on the Ash Peak Mine and the Shamrock Shaft in the south, while the northern reaches transition into the elevations of Turtle Mtn. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and water-management features, including the Old Wright Monument and numerous tanks such as Tollgate Tank, essential for survival in the arid Slick Rock Basin.
