1974 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

The Bradshaw Mountains dominate this mid-1970s survey, revealing a landscape defined by mining history and cattle ranching within the Prescott National Forest. Remote sites such as Goodwin and Hooper represent the remnants of earlier activity along the Senator Highway, a historic transit corridor through the high country. Small-scale mining is evident through features like the Bodie Mine and Yankee Boy Mine, while the presence of the Old Trap Corral and the McNary Place points to the area's agricultural heritage. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Ash Creek Canyon and Maidenhead Canyon, which provide essential water sources in this arid environment through numerous named springs like Bodie Spring and Arrastra Spring.
