1962 Map of Little Horn Mts

About this map

The Little Horn Mountains dominate this 1962 field-checked survey of the Arizona desert, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and military boundaries. The presence of the Oakland Mine and various Jeep Trails suggest a history of prospecting and exploration within the arid basins. Strategic water points such as Cementosa Tank and Soldiers Tank highlight the critical infrastructure required for survival and movement through the region. This terrain transitions from the broad Ranegras Plain in the north to the Palomas Plain in the south, where the Yuma Test Station indicates the mid-century intersection of vast open spaces and federal government activity. The map also delineates the eastern edge of the Kofa Game Range, illustrating the early 1960s configuration of these protected lands before later administrative shifts.
