About this map

Jackson Mtn rises above a landscape defined by ranching and deep desert drainages within Graham County. This mid-1940s survey illustrates a rugged cattle-country economy, anchored by scattered operations like Hinton Ranch, VL Ranch, and Pace Ranch. The terrain is characterized by complex canyon systems, including Goodwin Wash and Tripp and Underwood Wash, which cross between the protected lands of Coronado National Forest and Crook National Forest.

Genealogists and researchers can trace the historic Goodwin Trail as it winds past several prospect sites, indicating the era's persistent mineral exploration. Significant landmarks such as Cobre Grande Peak and Holdout Mesa dominate the western portion of the map, while Cedar Springs and the nearby Cedar Springs Butte provide specific points of reference for those studying the settlement patterns of this arid Arizona region during the post-war years.
