1952 Map of Reading Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Pinos Altos Range defines this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest, where steep canyons and sharp ridgelines dominate the topography. Rising to prominent heights at Reading Mountain and Four Mountain, the terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages including Sycamore Creek and Bear Creek. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks and ranching infrastructure, most notably the Snow Creek Cabin near the northern boundary and the Dorsey Ranch lands to the west. This 1952 study shows the area's transition from the high ridges of Tadpole Ridge down toward the southern drainage of Walnut Creek. Significant landmarks like Devils Garden and Preachers Point suggest a landscape used by ranchers and outdoorsmen long before modern development, while the absence of major roads emphasizes the backcountry character of the territory north of Silver City.
