1963 Map of Quitobaquito Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Quitobaquito Springs and the surrounding desert corridor of the United States Mexico border define this mid-century survey. The landscape is marked by essential water sources for cattle and travelers, including Williams Spring, Burro Spring, and Aguajita Spring, alongside scattered improvements like Hocker Well and an Airstrip. The terrain transitions from the low La Abra Plain into the Quitobaquito Hills and the prominent Cipriano Hills to the north. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to conservation and military use, split between the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta Game Range, and the Luke Air Force Range. This 1963 field-checked study traces the Puerto Blanco Drive as it winds through the arid environment, providing a detailed record of the borderland's topography before modern developments.
