1940 Map of Palo Alto Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Working cattle ranches and legacy mining claims define this corner of the Sonoran Desert in the early 1940s. The landscape is dominated by the Coyote Mountains in the northwest and the Sierrita Mountains to the east, with the broad Altar Wash valley serving as a primary drainage corridor between them. Small-scale settlement is concentrated at family-held outposts like Anvil Ranch and the Palo Alto Ranch, which are connected by a network of unimproved desert tracks such as the Batamote Road.
