1960 Map of Juanita Arch

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep path through this 1960s landscape, flanked by the massive elevations of Sewemup Mesa and Tenderfoot Mesa. The mapping reveals a specialized extraction economy focused on the high plateau rims, marked by the Depression Mines and the Mother Dee Mine in the north, and the Little Maverick Mines to the east. These operations are accessed by a network of jeep trails that navigate the complex drainage systems of Maverick Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. To the southwest, the distinctive landform of Sinbad Valley provides a stark contrast to the surrounding mesas. The presence of the Juanita Arch and various named springs underscores the geological and hydrological markers critical to those working this arid terrain.
