About this map

Placeritas sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, where the Mohave and Yavapai County line divides the terrain. This late 1960s survey documents a network of water sources essential for survival and industry in the arid West, including Johns Spring, Lower McGregor Spring, and Sycamore Spring. The area's mining history is evident at the Dunlap Mine and other unnamed prospects situated near the winding course of Placeritas Creek.

Remote outposts like Olea Ranch are connected by a web of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that navigate the slopes of the Poachie Range and Arrastra Mtn. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the deep incisions of Peoples Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, leading toward South Peoples Spring. This record preserves the location of isolated livestock operations and mineral claims before modern development reached these high canyons.
