1965 Map of Wickenburg SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Vulture Mountains dominate the northwestern horizon of this 1965 survey, a landscape defined by desert mining and early aviation infrastructure. The broad, sandy corridor of the Hassayampa River and its tributary, San Domingo Wash, carve through the arid terrain, leading toward aviation sites like the Luke Auxiliary Field No 4 (City of Phoenix) and a remote Landing Strip. Traces of earlier industry are evident at the Smith Mill (Site) and the Wolf Mine, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northeastern corner. This map documents a transitional era where traditional resource extraction at Gravel Pit locations and numerous wells exists alongside military and municipal flight training grounds. Notable geological landmarks like the Natural Arch and Red Cliff provide orientation within the network of Jeep Trails that crisscross the foothills.
