1972 Map of Oak Grove Canyon

About this map

The rugged topography of the Galiuro Mountains dominates this 1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by deep canyons and a legacy of mining activity. In the southwest corner, a cluster of claims marks the mining district near the Copper Creek (Site), including the Glory Hole Mine, Copper Prince Mine, and The Hendrickson Mine. These operations, along with the Table Mtn Mine to the northwest, highlight the mineral-rich character of the Graham and Pinal county border. The presence of numerous corrals, such as the Don Jose Corral and Hanks Corral, indicates the area's dual use for ranching, supported by scattered water sources like Jackson Spring and Mescal Tank. The boundary between Pinal and Graham counties bisects the quadrangle, which also encompasses a portion of the Coronado National Forest. Small settlements and camps, including Parsons Grove and Lime Camp, suggest the isolated residential patterns common to this interior Arizona range during the mid-20th century.
