1959 Map of Oracle

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The town of Oracle serves as the focal point for this late-1950s study of the high desert and mountain interface. Stretching from the Tortolita Mountains in the west to the high peaks of the Coronado National Forest in the east, the landscape is defined by a network of cattle operations and mining claims. Prominent ranching homesteads such as Willow Springs Ranch, Falcon Valley Ranch, and Rancho Linda Vista illustrate the regional economy, while the Experimental Ranch south of the main town site suggests an era of scientific land management.
