1967 Map of Smith Peak NW

About this map

Date Creek and Bullard Wash carve a network of drainage patterns across this desert landscape, where water management is the primary evidence of human presence in the late 1960s. The southern edge of the sheet is defined by the rising elevations of the Little Buckskin Mts, while the remainder of the terrain is a steady alluvial slope toward the northwest. Isolated infrastructure like East Well, Webber Well, and a lonely Corral indicate the ranching history of the region. Transportation is limited to the prominent Alamo Road and various rugged tracks, including a designated Jeep Trail, that traverse the brush. Several Borrow Pits near the roadway suggest localized material extraction for road maintenance during this period of the mid-20th century.
