1972 Map of La Madre Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

La Madre Mountain dominates this 1970s landscape, where the dramatic elevation changes of the Sandstone Bluffs and Calico Hills define the local topography. This survey, photoinspected in the early 1980s, captures a transition from industrial activity to recreational use. Evidence of earlier extractive work is found at the Sandstone Quarry and a northern Prospect, while the developing road network, including the Red Rock Scenic Drive, signals the area's shift toward public access. Water remains the critical factor for both wildlife and human activity in this arid environment, marked by a series of essential water sources such as White Rock Spring, Ash Creek Spring, and Red Spring. The inclusion of the Willow Spring Picnic Area and various Jeep Trails provides a detailed look at how the public engaged with the Brownstone Basin during this period.
