1974 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

Bradshaw Mountains mining history and mid-century ranching life are central to this 1974 survey of the Prescott National Forest. The map documents the remnants of late-19th-century activity, marking the locations of the Bodie Mine, Yankee Boy Mine, and Trails End Mine. Settlement patterns are represented by small homesteads and former town sites such as McNary Place, Baldwin Place, and the town sites at Goodwin and Hooper. The network of water sources, from Johnson Flat Tank to Dandy Wire Spring, underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. Transportation through the area relies on the Senator Highway and various pack trails, which skirt prominent landmarks like Battleship Butte and Longfellow Ridge. The presence of several United States Location Monuments further highlights the area's history as a surveyed mineral district.
