1940 Map of Palo Alto Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Anvil Ranch and Palo Alto Ranch anchor a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage systems and early mid-century ranching operations. The terrain is marked by prominent desert elevations such as the Coyote Mountains and Stevens Mtn, which overlook numerous mining sites that had already ceased operations by the time of the 1940 survey. These include the Aguinaldo Mine (abandoned) and Yellow Bird Mine (abandoned), reflecting the shift from mineral extraction to a cattle-and-water economy.
