1990 Map of New Water Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The New Water Mountains dominate this landscape, which is largely encompassed by the northern portion of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. This 1990 edition, based on late-1980s fieldwork, documents a terrain defined by its mining history and topographic extremes. Prominent landmarks such as The Eagles Eye and Gunsight Notch punctuate the ridgelines, while the Ranegras Plain opens to the northeast. Human impact on this arid environment is evident through several named resource extractions, including the Eagle Eye Mine, Hidden Mine, and an Open Pit Mine. These sites, along with numerous prospects and mine shafts, indicate the intense mineral exploration that characterized the region. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of these workings and vital water sources like Hidden Tank and Charco Three before modern changes.
