1965 Map of Picacho Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Picacho Mine stands as a primary point of interest in this arid landscape of Imperial County, located near a small Cem and the drainage of Picacho Wash. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Picacho Peak and Little Picacho Peak, which rise above a network of dry watercourses including Bear Canyon, White Wash, and Arrastra Wash. Access through this desert environment in the mid-1960s was limited to a series of rugged paths like the Gatuna Trail and Carrizo Trail, alongside numerous unnamed jeep trails that lace through the flats and foothills. The presence of Pebble Mtn and the unnamed washes suggests a complex drainage system that characterizes the local topography, providing a detailed record of the land before modern developments changed the accessibility of these remote mining and natural sites.
