1950 Map of Reading Mountain

About this map

Pinos Altos Range dominates this mid-century topographic study, which documents a high-altitude wilderness within the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by massive topographic features such as Reading Mountain and Tadpole Ridge, where deep drainage systems like Reading Canyon and Sycamore Canyon carve through the terrain. Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, centered on the Snow Creek Cabin and the isolated Allen Springs to the south.
