1959 Map of Redrock
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Gila River cuts through this high-desert landscape in southwestern New Mexico, where the settlement of Redrock serves as a hub for scattered ranching operations. The area is defined by its complex network of canyons and peaks, including the prominent Big Burro Mountains and the distinctive profile of Knight Peak. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals the locations of several family-held lands such as the Jim Cureton Ranch, Van Meter Ranch, and McCauley Ranch. Evidence of earlier inhabitants is noted at the Old Indian Village (Site) and the Redrock Cem. The region's mining legacy is visible through numerous sites like the Grey Eagle Mine, Jennie Mines, and Humming Bird Mine, while the infrastructure of windmills and tanks, such as Turner Windmill and Double Tanks, illustrates the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
