1964 Map of Baldy Mtn

About this map

The Hieroglyphic Mts dominate this mid-century landscape, characterized by a series of prominent peaks and intricate drainage systems. In the northeastern corner, Lake Pleasant Regional Park is a major feature, with the Agua Fria River and its associated infrastructure, including a Canal, Flume, and Siphon, illustrating the complex water management required in this arid environment. The map captures the area's resource extraction history through the Prince Mine and White Peak Quarry, while isolated outposts like Morgan City Well and Whiteway mark the sparse human footprint. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Baldy Mtn, Saddleback Mtn, and Twin Buttes, providing a clear record of the geographical landmarks used by early surveyors and local ranchers.
