1962 Map of Little Horn Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Little Horn Mountains dominate this arid landscape, where the shifting desert topography meets mid-century military and conservation efforts. To the south, the vast Yuma Test Station indicates the region's importance for desert-based ordnance and equipment testing during the early 1960s. This military presence shares the landscape with the Kofa Game Range to the northwest, a refuge established for the protection of desert bighorn sheep. Natural water sources are scarce, marked by isolated points like Cementosa Tanks and Soldiers Tank, which were vital for travel across the Ranegras Plain. The Oakland Mine sits tucked within the western slopes, a remnant of the prospecting history that preceded the mid-century institutional use of the land. Transportation is defined by a network of unimproved routes, including Hovatter Road and various Jeep Trails, winding through Deadman Valley.
