1965 Map of Picacho Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Picacho Mine stands as a primary landmark in this desert landscape of Imperial County, situated near the base of the prominent Picacho Peak. This mid-1960s survey reveals a region defined by complex drainage networks and mineral interests. A small Cem is located northeast of the mine, providing a specific point of interest for family historians researching early mining communities in the Colorado Desert. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal watercourses, including White Wash, Little Picacho Wash, and the extensive Carrizo Wash. Moving south, the topography transitions toward Pebble Mtn, while a system of jeep trails and primitive roads provides the only access through the arid basins of Gatuna Wash and Bear Canyon. The map records the infrastructure of an active desert interior before more modern developments changed the accessibility of these remote reaches.
