1965 Map of Puertecito Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Magdalena Mountains dominate this landscape, defined by the prominent ridge of the Devils Backbone and heights like Bern Peak and Horse Mountain. At the time of this mid-1960s fieldwork, the area served primarily as ranching and mining land, evidenced by scattered prospects and a Mine near Puertecito Gap. Water management is the primary sign of human activity in this arid terrain, with a network of wells and tanks such as Copper Canyon Well, Blue Well, and Poniente Tank supporting livestock and isolated outposts like V L Ranch and Rienhardt Ranch.
