1948 Map of Twin Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Sierrita Mountains dominate the western half of this 1930s survey, a landscape defined by ranching life and mining prospects before the mid-century expansion of modern infrastructure. Settlements such as Soto Ranch and Pino Blanco Ranch are situated near vital water sources like Ash Creek and numerous tanks, highlighting the critical nature of water management in the desert. In the east, the Southern Pacific railroad follows the path of the Santa Cruz River through the San Ignacio De La Canoa land grant, connecting the settlement of Canoa to the regional network. The presence of the McGee Sch and various mining sites near Mineral Hill and Twin Buttes suggests a community supported by both traditional agriculture and the extraction of mineral wealth during the late Depression era.
