1963 Map of Soldiers Farewell Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The historical Soldiers Farewell Stage Station and the Butterfield Trail highlight the significance of this arid landscape as a vital corridor for western expansion in Grant County. Water remains the defining factor for survival and ranching in this high-desert terrain, evidenced by the strategic placement of the J P B Windmill, Barrow Windmill, and Jarrell Tank No 1. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Soldiers Farewell Hill and Bessie Rhoads Mountain, while the drainage of Burro Cienaga and Ninety-six Creek dictates the movement across the land. This mid-century survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching economy where family-named operations like Jarrell Ranch and Thorne Ranch persisted alongside modern infrastructure developments, including a prominent Pipeline cutting through the southern desert reaches.
