1951 Map of Woolsey Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Woolsey Peak dominates the center of this 1951 survey, surrounded by the high desert peaks of the Gila Bend Mountains. To the north, the small settlement of Arlington sits near Arlington Valley, while the Gila River flows through the southern and eastern corridors. This landscape is a hybrid of ancient history and early mid-century resource extraction, where Petroglyphs and Indian Ruins on the Gila Bend Indian Reservation coexist with the Harcan Mine and Buckeye Copper Mine. The irrigation infrastructure of the Citrus Valley is clearly visible, including the Enterprise Canal and the now-defunct Citrus Ditch (Aban'd). Researchers will find a network of water-dependent features such as Moody Spring, Webb Well, and various windmills that supported ranching operations at sites like Warford Ranch. The presence of multiple landing strips and a Pipe Line suggests the increasing industrialization and aerial surveying common in Arizona during the post-war era.
