1965 Map of Biscuit Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Biscuit Flat and the surrounding high desert of Maricopa County are defined here by a network of water management features and desert transit corridors. This mid-1960s environment, later updated with 1978 data, shows a landscape geared toward livestock and recreation, evidenced by numerous stock tanks such as Snodgrass Tank, Milky Way Tank, and Escondido Tank. The New River and Skunk Creek provide the primary drainage through the basin, while the Black Canyon Shooting Range and Biscuit Campground highlight the area's development for public use. Settlement is sparse, with Munson appearing as a primary named point of interest. Geographic landmarks like Black Mountain and Middle Mtn rise above the flat, offering navigational markers for the various jeep trails and the Lake Pleasant Road that cross the arid terrain.
