1983 Map of Jordan Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Jordan Gap serves as a prominent pass through the high desert terrain of Presidio County, marking a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and remote transportation routes. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line skirts the northwestern corner of the area near Perdiz Creek, while the interior is accessible primarily via a network of jeep trails. Named windmills such as Lucky Windmill, High Lonesome Windmill, and Peach Tree Windmill suggest the critical importance of groundwater management for livestock across the broad plateaus of Mesa Gemelo and Cartwright Mesa. This 1980s-era documentation captures the spatial layout of the High Desert ranching economy, where features like an isolated landing strip and several water tanks highlight the logistical challenges of operating in Paradise Valley.
