1951 Map of Winkelman

About this map

The junction of the Gila River and San Pedro River anchors this mid-century portrait of southern Arizona's ranching and mining heartland. The community of Winkelman sits near the northern boundary, where the industrial presence of a large Tailings Pond and the Southern Pacific railroad reflect the region's heavy mineral extraction. To the south, the rugged terrain of the Tortilla Mountains is dotted with numerous family ranch sites, some already noted as historical locations by the late 1940s.
