1965 Map of Turtleback Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Turtleback Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of the Hyder Valley, where drainage patterns define the movement across the landscape. The map records the network of ephemeral watercourses including Deadman Wash, Nottbusch Wash, and Red Raven Wash, which carve through the desert floor between the Gila Bend Mountains and the Picacho Hills. These washes were critical navigations for early desert travelers and cattlemen, as evidenced by the presence of Dry Well and Corral Well near the valley floor.
