1965 Map of Middle Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Gila National Forest terrain dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by deep drainages and cattle-ranching infrastructure at the high-elevation borders of Grant, Catron, and Sierra Counties. The map captures a transition between traditional ranching life and modern aviation needs, evidenced by the presence of the Me Own Landing Strip and a nearby Heliport situated on Middle Mesa. Remote outposts like the Diamond Bar Ranch sit nestled within complex canyon systems such as South Diamond Creek and Tom Moore Canyon. Historical movement through this territory is traced along established routes like the Community Pasture Trail and the Brannon Park Trail, which connect vital water sources like Meason Spring and Meason Flat. The intricate topography of Tom Moore Mesa and various corrals scattered across the quadrangle emphasize the area's continued reliance on the land's natural contours for livestock management.
