1986 Map of Big Shipp Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Big Shipp Mountain and Little Shipp Mountain dominate this mid-1980s landscape in Yavapai County, where the topography is defined by high mesas and intricate drainage basins. The Santa Maria River cuts through the southeastern corner, serving as a primary hydrological feature fed by numerous seasonal washes such as Little Shipp Wash, Sycamore Wash, and Cottonwood Creek. This map reveals a reliance on isolated water sources typical of the high desert, documenting several named springs and tanks that served as vital landmarks for local navigation and cattle ranching. Features like Rockhouse Spring, Dead Cow Spring, and Brushy Basin Tank reflect the practical nomenclature of the era. The presence of Chimney Rock and Burro Mountain provides distinctive navigational points within the complex terrain, while the extensive labeling of landforms like The Rincon offers a clear view of the area's geological character before modern development.
