1963 Map of Telephone Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sheepherders Baseball Park stands out as an unexpected cultural landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest. Recorded in the early 1960s, the area is characterized by a network of ranching and administrative outposts, including the Brennan Ranch, Gilson Ranch, and several seasonal camps like Rainy Mesa Camp. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the complex drainage systems of Telephone Canyon and Negrito Creek. Remote aviation infrastructure is evident at the Rainy Mesa Airstrip and Negrito Airstrip, supporting forest management and local access. The map reveals a working wilderness where the Beaverhead Road and various jeep trails, such as the Sheppard Jeep Canyon Trail, connect isolated water sources like Eckleberger Spring and Sheppard Tank.
