1967 Map of Jackson Spring

About this map

Jackson Mines stands as a focal point of industrial activity on the eastern slopes of the mountains, overlooking a landscape defined by scarce water sources and rugged transit. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a network of primitive transportation, where a Jeep Trail and various unpaved routes provide the only access through the high desert terrain. The transition from the highlands down into the Tecoma Valley is marked by critical hydrologic features like Jackson Spring, Kilgore Spring, and a lonely Well in the valley floor, which were essential for both livestock and mining operations in this arid region.
