1952 Map of Pine Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Tomera Ranch and Rand Ranch anchor the northern valley floor of this 1950s interior Basin and Range landscape. The central corridor is dominated by the course of Pine Creek and a Dismantled Railroad that once serviced the remote basins between the Cortez Mountains and the Pinon Range. This era of land use is defined by scattered family holdings such as the Bailey Ranch, Hay Ranch, and Slagowski Ranch, illustrating the importance of water rights in an arid environment dotted with features like Indian Spr and the Indian Campground. Industrial activity is evident on the western edge at the Modarelli Iron Mines (Mi), while the southern terrain transitions into the Sulphur Springs Range. The map documents a transition from rail-dependent transport to a network of ranch roads and private tracks through landmarks like Devils Gate.
