1965 Map of Winston

About this map

Winston and the nearby settlement of Chloride anchor this mid-1960s study of the Black Range foothills. The landscape is defined by its mining history, with numerous named claims such as the Wall Street Mine, U S Treasury Mine, and St Cloud Mines scattered across the high ridges and canyons. These industrial sites are linked by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail winding through the Gila National Forest. In the lower elevations, water resources are meticulously recorded, including named springs like Woodhouse Spring and Monument Spring, alongside several windmills and wells. The map captures a transition from the rugged mining operations at Gold Hill and Way-Up Mountain to the quieter civic features of the era, such as the Santo Niño Cem and the local Schoolhouse. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists and researchers tracing the 19th-century mining legacy that persisted into the mid-20th century.
