2018 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

Dandrea and Goodwin sit along the eastern edge of this high-elevation terrain within the Prescott National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Bradshaw Mountains, where numerous canyons like Box Canyon, Crooks Canyon, and Maidenhead Canyon cut through the rugged interior. This 2018 survey reveals a land shaped by resource extraction and seasonal water sources, featuring the Old Bodie Mine Road and the Blind Indian Connection. Throughout the quadrangle, a dense network of isolated springs and tanks, such as Tin Trough Spring, Eph Spring, and Ash Tank, highlights the essential reliance on scattered water points in this arid upland environment. The settlement at Hooper near Orr Spring further demonstrates the historical pattern of placing small outposts near dependable water and accessible trails.
