1967 Map of Smith Peak NW

About this map

Cabal sits along the northern reaches of this arid landscape, a region defined by seasonal drainages and isolated desert infrastructure in the late 1960s. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Bullard Wash and Date Creek in the north toward the rising elevations of the Little Buckskin Mts in the south. The map documents a sparsely settled area where life centered on scattered water sources like East Well and Webber Well, which were critical for ranching operations indicated by the presence of a Corral near the wash.
