1956 Map of Superstition Mts. SW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Dinosaur Mtn dominates the northern skyline of this mid-1950s survey, marking a rugged transition into the high desert landscape of Pinal County. The map reveals a sparsely settled frontier characterized by utilitarian infrastructure, such as the prominent Telephone Line and Power Lines that traverse the arid terrain. Lowland activity is concentrated near water sources and transit points, including the RRR Ranch and Navajo Station. This area, mapped by the Army Map Service, shows early industrial marks with scattered Shafts and a Mine in the northeast, while the southern portion is defined by the broad wash of Queen Creek. The presence of an Abandoned road segment suggests a landscape in flux, where older desert tracks were already giving way to more modern alignments.
