1956 Map of Superstition Mts. SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Dinosaur Mtn anchors the northern landscape of this Pinal County territory, where the foothills of the Superstition Mountains meet the arid lowlands. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a sparsely settled region defined by massive infrastructure and land management. Heavy Power Lines and a Telephone Line slice diagonally across the terrain, passing through a string of surveyed benchmarks including the BM 1796 Scenic Marker. The presence of several Game Restoration Areas indicates early conservation efforts, while the intermittent flow of Queen Creek cuts through the southern sections. Local activity is concentrated at the RRR Ranch and Navajo Station, with mineral exploration evidenced by Shafts and a Mine located in the northeastern heights, illustrating the dual nature of the era's desert development between recreation, ranching, and resource extraction.
