1981 Map of Sawmill Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this section of the Gila National Forest, defining a high-altitude landscape where mineral extraction and seasonal grazing once dominated the local economy. In the early 1980s, the area remained a network of specialized resource sites, from the remote Guard Sta near Poverty Creek to numerous isolated mining operations. Prospectors and families following the history of the Black Range will find the locations of the Webber Mine, Fluorine, and the Little Granite Mine clearly marked. The presence of numerous water sources like Whiskey Spring, Jenny Spring, and Koko Well highlights the vital importance of water management for survival in this arid terrain. A labyrinth of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails connects these high points, illustrating how the geography was navigated before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Gila.
