2012 Map of Mount Montgomery

About this map

Mount Montgomery sits at a strategic crossing within the high-elevation landscape of the White Mountains, where the modern corridor of the highway meets the historic Montgomery Pass. This 2012 survey documents the enduring infrastructure of Mineral County, including the Candelaria Pipeline and a network of high-country access points like B&B Mine Rd. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Sugarloaf Canyon and Queen Canyon to prominent landmarks such as Mustang Mountain and Sugarloaf. The map reveals a land utilized for both ranching and resource management, evidenced by the Hereford Valley Ranch and names like Gold Hit and Pinchot Springs. These features indicate the continued importance of water sources like Hutchinson Cr and Brownie Cr in an otherwise arid environment, while trails like Pinchot Crk Loop suggest contemporary recreational use of the old mining and ranching corridors.
