1964 Map of Hot Tamale Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Mining operations and cattle ranching define this section of the Dripping Spring Mountains in the mid-1960s. The landscape is dominated by the industrial footprint of the Ray Mine and Calumet Mine, which contrast sharply with the established rural structures like the Slash S Ranch and Troy Ranch. Significant topographical landmarks such as Hot Tamale Peak and Tiger Mtn rise above a complex network of canyons and washes, including Hackberry Gulch and Stone Cabin Wash. This survey is particularly valuable for documenting the locations of Ray (Site) and Sonora (Site), appearing here as identified sites rather than active towns. A dedicated Railroad and numerous substations support the heavy extraction activity centered around Sonora Hill and the Twin Domes, while high-altitude springs like Woodchopper Spring and Laguna Spring reveal the vital water sources required to sustain both industry and homesteads in this arid environment.
