1958 Map of Mount Wrightson

About this map

The Santa Rita Mountains dominate this late 1950s survey of southern Arizona, showcasing a landscape defined by its mining heritage and cattle ranching. High peaks such as Mt Wrightson and Josephine Peak overlook a terrain carved by Agua Caliente Canyon and Temporal Gulch, where numerous shafts and tunnels mark the search for minerals. The mining industry is heavily documented here, with names like the Glove Mine, Eureka Mine, and the Wandering Jew Group appearing alongside the Southern Pacific Railroad corridor in the southeast.
