1951 Map of Wind Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Little Burro Mountains and the Gila National Forest dominate this mid-century New Mexico landscape, which is marked by a deep history of mineral exploration and ranching. The presence of the Shrine Mine alongside names like the Blackhawk Mines, Burro Chief Mine, and Liberty Bell Mine underscores the region's mining industry at the time of the survey. An Indian Burial Ground near McCain Spring provides a rare recorded glimpse into the area's ancient history, while scattered family outposts such as Fleming Ranch, Woodward Ranch, and Kaufman Ranch illustrate the post-war ranching economy. The Continental Divide winds across the lower right corner, where the terrain drops sharply into deep drainage systems like California Gulch and Whitewater Canyon.
