1972 Map of Little Aguja Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Timber Mountain and Forbidden Mountain dominate this corner of the Davis Mountains, where steep relief is marked by a complex system of pack trails and isolated springs. The presence of Madera Springs Lodge and the Buffalo Trail Scout Camp suggests the area’s 20th-century transition into a space for recreation and youth education, though the landscape remains largely defined by its natural defenses. Named landmarks like Rustlers Flat and The Role Pens hint at a history of ranching and livestock management in the high country. Numerous water sources such as the Blue Hole and Orchard Spring are critical points in an otherwise arid terrain, connected by a network labeled simply as Pack Trail. Distinctive geologic features, including Balance Rock and Needle Rock, serve as natural waypoints through Madera Canyon and Little Aguja Canyon.
