1958 Map of Mount Wrightson

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where high peaks like Mt Wrightson and Josephine Peak overlook a dense network of mining claims. The density of sites such as the Mansfield Group, Alto Group, and Salero Mine indicates a period of intense mineral exploration in the Santa Rita Mountains. Down in the valleys, the Luis Maria Baca Grant (Float No 3) marks a significant historical land tenure, separating the mountainous mining districts from the ranching lands to the south. This era is defined by a landscape transitioning between active resource extraction and established cattle operations, visible at the Salero Ranch and Weatherhead Ranch. To the southeast, the settlement of Patagonia sits along Sonoita Creek, serving as a gateway for the region's diverse economic activities.
