1965 Map of North Star Mesa

About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Grant County, where the Continental Divide winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents a landscape defined by deep drainage systems like Slick Rock Canyon, Cienega Canyon, and Sapillo Creek, which flows along the southern edge near Gattons Park. Human activity is marked by the presence of the V Cross Ranch and the Rocky Canyon Campground, suggesting a mix of livestock ranching and recreational use in the mid-1960s.
