1959 Map of Tortolita Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Tortolita Mountains dominate the center of this 1959 survey, where the rugged southern Arizona landscape is defined by its network of seasonal watercourses and remote ranching outposts. The map reveals a post-war desert economy transitioning between traditional cattle operations and infrastructure development, evidenced by the presence of a Pipeline and Power Line cutting through the foothills. Long-established names like Cross Triangle Ranch and Eberhardt Ranch mark the valley floors, while high points such as Vabm Tortillita and Antelope Peak provide orientation across the high desert.
