1965 Map of Mule Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Mule Creek sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Grant County, serving as a focal point for a series of family ranching operations scattered across the foothills of the Mule Mountains. The 1965 field check documents a rural economy tied to the land, where reliable water sources like Mule Spring and Dripping Spring were essential for sustaining livestock. The terrain is defined by deep incisions such as Mule Canyon and Walnut Canyon, which cut through the southwestern expanse of the Gila National Forest. Evidence of much earlier habitation is marked at the Indian Ruins near the eastern boundary, while local history is anchored by the Cem and established holdings like the Larremore Ranch and Harkey Ranch. The map also traces a rugged Jeep Trail winding toward Sunflower Mesa, reflecting the navigational challenges of this borderland territory near the Arizona state line.
