1959 Map of York Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Gila River snakes through the western portion of this 1959 survey, carving out the fertile York Valley and providing a corridor for the Southern Pacific railroad. This area of eastern Arizona is defined by a sparse but established ranching landscape, where family-named outposts like the Davis Ranch, Willis Ranch, and Stevens Ranch are scattered across a complex network of dry washes and deep canyons. The settlement at Three Way serves as a local hub near the Greenlee County Airport, which, notably for the era, sits adjacent to a Drive-in Theater. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward the Summit Mts and Big Mesa, marking the rugged transition toward the New Mexico border. The presence of the Twin Peaks Mine and numerous irrigation features like the Canal near Apache Grove reflects the dual economy of mineral extraction and river-bottom agriculture that sustained these borderland communities in the mid-20th century.
