About this map

Mogollon and the adjacent camp of Cooney serve as the industrial heart of this territory, where the complex network of Mineral Creek and Silver Creek supported a burgeoning mining district. The presence of a Power Plant near Graham underscores the technical development of the region at this time, while the Meaders Stage Sta on the edge of the Mogollon Mountains highlights the era’s reliance on stage lines for transit through the high country.

Agricultural and ranching outposts like Pleasanton, Alma, and the 74 Ranch dot the valleys of the San Francisco River and Duck Creek. The mapping captures a transitional era of western settlement, noting remote landmarks such as the Tennessee Cabin and N Bar Ranch set against the high peaks of Whitewater Baldy and Center Baldy. This survey represents a period when the timber and mining economies were fully integrated into the wild landscape of the Gila National Forest.
