1964 Map of Baldy Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Hieroglyphic Mts dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where water management and mineral extraction define the local economy. The Agua Fria River feeds into Lake Pleasant, a central feature surrounded by the Lake Pleasant Regional Park. Significant engineering is visible in the irrigation infrastructure, including the Beardsley Canal, a prominent flume, and the Siphon that directs water across the arid terrain. Mining activity is concentrated around the southern peaks, specifically at the White Peak Mine and White Peak Quarry near White Peak. The presence of a Landing Field and a network of jeep trails suggest a rugged environment that was beginning to see increased recreational and industrial access during the early 1960s. Geographic reference points like the Gila and Salt River Meridian and landmarks such as Twin Buttes and Saddleback Mtn provide clear orientation for researchers and surveyors.
