1957 Map of Luzena

About this map

Railroad Pass serves as the topographic gateway through which the Southern Pacific railroad and a major highway traverse the desert between the Pinaleno Mountains and the Dos Cabezas Mountains. This mid-century landscape is defined by its ranching and mining infrastructure, with named settlements like Luzena and Raso situated along the rail line. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows intense drainage patterns through Maverick Canyon and California Gulch, while the isolated Buckeye Apache Mine sits on the lower slopes of the range.
