1943 Map of Old Glory

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Mining operations and remote ranching outposts define this 1943 military reconnaissance of the borderlands between the Pajarito Mts. and the Sierra De San Juan. The map provides a unique cross-border perspective, detailing the rugged terrain from Arivaca southward into Sonora, Mexico. High-altitude sites like Montana Peak and Aguja Peak overlook a landscape dotted with isolated infrastructure, including the Old Glory Mine and the Ruby P.O. (Montana) post office. Notable for its genealogical value, the survey captures family-named landmarks and ranchos such as Rancho de Rillito and Tres Bellotas, alongside ephemeral features like a deserted house and several named springs. The network of canyons, including Warsaw Canyon and Walker Canyon, underscores the topographical challenges faced by the Corps of Engineers during the early 20th-century mapping efforts.
