1973 Map of Buckhead Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The landmark Tonto Natural Bridge stands as a focal point in this 1973 survey of the Arizona high country. Located within the Tonto National Forest, the landscape transitions from the heights of Strawberry Mtn and Buckhead Mesa down toward the deep drainages of the East Verde River. The map documents a significant mining presence in the late 20th century, with several workings such as the White Mtn Mine, Gowan Mine, and Crackerjack Mine scattered across the eastern slopes. A sophisticated network of ranching infrastructure is evident through the numerous water catchments like Bradshaw Tank and Horsethief Tank, which supported livestock across the White Hills. The southwestern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the protected boundaries of the Mazatzal Wilderness, where the terrain is marked by steep canyons and named water sources like Walnut Spring.
