2014 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

The high ridges of the Bradshaw Mountains dominate this central Arizona landscape, where the Prescott National Forest preserves a network of canyons and peaks. Remote outposts such as McNary Place and Baldwin Place are tucked into the rugged drainages of Milk Cr and Crooks Canyon, reflecting the area's history of isolated ranching and homesteading. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, rising to summits like Battleship Butte and Pine Mtn. In the eastern portion of the map, small settlements including Goodwin and Dandrea sit along the winding route of FR 52. The presence of numerous water sources, such as Spence Spring and Blackjack Spring, was essential for both livestock and early settlers in this arid mountain environment. A dense network of forest roads and trails, including Forest 94 Trl, provides access through the deeply incised valleys like Box Canyon and Maidenhead Canyon.
