2018 Map of Battle Flat

About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the southern Bradshaw Mountains, where the history of Arizona mining and ranching is etched into the terrain. The small settlements of Pine Flat and Battle Flat serve as focal points in an area defined by steep drainages and isolated springs. The map documents an extensive network of resource-access roads, including the Peck Mine Rd and Swastika Mine Rd, which hint at the region's mineral extraction heritage. Between the heights of Tuscumbia Mtn and Brady Butte, the landscape is carved by numerous gulches with evocative names like Poor Mans Gulch and Wild Flower Gulch. Water is a critical resource in this arid environment, marked by a system of tanks and springs such as Boulder Dam Tank and Coyote Spring that support both local wildlife and cattle operations.
