1951 Map of White Signal
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
White Signal serves as the focal point of this Grant County survey, situated at the junction of the White Signal Road and Separ Road. The landscape is defined by its mining activity and cattle ranching during the early 1950s, with operations such as the Apache Trail Mine, Gold Lake Mine, and Uncle Sam Mine dotting the terrain between prominent peaks like Tullock Peak and Saddle Mtn. The local community is anchored by the White Signal School and the Community House, while the 7XV Ranch represents the agricultural character of the region. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are mapped with precision, including the intermittent flows of Cherry Creek, Walnut Creek, and the isolated Stone Corral Spring in the southern reaches. The arrangement of these mines and homesteads relative to the complex drainage systems of Keese Canyon and McDonald Draw offers a clear view of how mid-century industry and life adapted to the high-altitude geography of New Mexico.
