2021 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

Battleship Butte rises as a prominent landmark within the Prescott National Forest, overlooking a complex network of canyons and high-altitude springs in Yavapai County. This high-desert and mountain terrain is defined by the Bradshaw Mountains and features like Maidenhead Canyon and Crooks Canyon, which create a landscape of sharp elevation changes. Small, remote settlements such as Goodwin and Dandrea sit in the northeast, while Hooper and Shady Dell anchor the southeastern portion of the map. The area is heavily marked by its mining and ranching history, evidenced by the Old Bodie Mine Road Trl and numerous named water sources like McNulty Spring, Tin Trough Spring, and Blackjack Spring. These springs and tanks, including Johnson Flat Tank and Upper Tank, highlight the critical importance of water management for livestock and mineral extraction in this arid Arizona environment.
